Album is a great and well-known store, but there a few like this that are worth a look and in a less congested area. Super happy to have found this place and will make a special trip to go there again and try a few of the local restaurants of which there are many.

No used (occasion) or rare books and none of the collectors-type signed and numbered deluxe editions. No need for an out of towner to stop here unless you are in the area.

They have since said they've shipped it to me, but that was weeks ago, and they have not provided any tracking info. We'll see. After more than two months and several emails, I have received the missing piece and have updated my score to reflect this. They made things right, and this must be noted. However, action wasn't taken until after I posted reviews, even after many emails, so I cannot give them a higher score than three stars.

Matière Première is one of the places that I am compelled to visit at every return to Paris…read more Matière Première is the reason I started beading in the first place. I first found these gorgeous blue glass beaded matching necklace and bracelets at the Matière Première counter at BHV store. But they do have their own location. The Marais store is so easy to get to from the St Paul Metro stop, and the location allows you to take a break in a nearby cafe, only to go back to Matière Première for more. They have such beautifully designed beads and the selection is HUGE. No exaggeration. Stop in and make sure you have time; you'll need it to peruse everything there. If you're not the crafty type or just want to get something already pret-a-porter, Matière Première has already made jewelry pieces available for reasonable prices. I love looking at the necklaces, earrings, brooches, etc for inspiration for my own designs. I so love Matière Première!
