The Le Figaro ran a competition on the best kouglofs of Paris, the nice alsacien specialty. The winner was Boulangerie Vandermeerch , 278, avenue Daumesnil,(75012). Tél. +33 (0) 1 43 47 21 66. open every day except mondays and tuesdays. Again another winner from the overcrowdely touristic center districts of Paris. Like I said…
France benefits from one of the biggest and most dense network of libraries in the world. It has about 2500 of them (compare with only 1000 in the UK). In Paris,there is a Library for each 4800 inhabitants – a record. The government just came to help more with an aide package of 9M€ to help the indépendants. there is even a new internet site that regroup them all. It will help find your book, choose the Library closest to you, and reserve to pick up there. THe site is in French, http://www.parislibrairies.fr/
The fleas, brocantes, markets are plenty in France,and plenty also in Paris, there are two sites that will help you find them all. one is le site http://quefaire.paris.fr/evenements/?c=31&quienparle=brocantes#pagination , and the other is the site http://brocabrac.fr/ ;now go shopping the season is coming and so is New Years…

For more than 50 years Brassaî ,the writer, photographer, and movie maker had with Paris a total passion.
