I spent a humongous amount of time in the (huge) book section of FNAC during our last two visits to…read moreParis (in 12/04 & 5/10) and I'm sure I'll do the same thing the next time we visit Paris; their selection of photo/etc. books (my passion) is really terrific. I also visited two of FNAC's other bookstore locations in Paris, but nothing quite compares to the one at des Halles. The reason why I'm not giving five stars is because the employees were rather perfunctory. Still, I gladly spent a small fortune on books each time because of the great selection.

I'll never buy anything there again.

ORANGE is a rip-off. On our Sept. trip to Paris, we purchased two "ORANGE HOLIDAY" sim cards at…read morethe airport. The salesperson assured us all we had to do was put these new sim cards into our phones, but no, he would not do it for us. And also told us the special little tool for accessing the SIM port on our phones was included in the envelope (it was not). We attempted to install both SIM cards, neither of which worked. Finally got help from a Lyca (sp?) store in Paris, and purchased NEW SIM cards from another carrier, which worked great. I haven't yet found a customer service email online to get a refund. The live chat person hung up on me after giving me a 4-DIGIT phone number to call, which would not, of course, work in the US. Really bad customer service, and what a rip-off.

I left my computer in this place a month ago. I was in Paris on holiday. I told the business owner…read moreI needed to collect computer by leaving time otherwise better to fix at home. I turned up at the agreed time. The machine was is pieces on his desk. I had received no communication from him. I was offered no opportunity to have the machine sent to me at a later date so I had to COME BACK to Paris from London to collect it. I told him VERY clearly the dates. I was assured it will be ready. It was not. As I write this it seems unbelievable. I came back the FOLLOWING weekend and it still wasn't ready. I was in shock and didn't have anyone in France who could help me deal with it. I went back to England. The man assured me I would have my computer within 2 days by mail. Two weeks later I have no computer and no information from him about when it will arrive. For a while, he gave me dates. Now he has gone completely quiet. I have no idea what to do. I guess I have to go to the police. It's absurd. Good luck if you choose to go here and DEFINITELY DON'T GO IF YOU ARE A TOURIST. The man is not a bad person but he's not reliable.

I'm a huge fan of the Apple brand, while in Paris I tried to visit three of their stores in the…read morecity I'm aware of, this location located in the Opera district, which is close to Auber Station and the Hilton Opera in which I stayed during my time in the French capital - this store was by far the worst and that was mainly down to the staff, normally the highlight of the Apple Store with the staff helpful and friendly, here they were just a bunch of miserable bastards. Apple Store's have changed drastically during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath, in the UK, France and the US I've noticed the following - Compulsory masks - if you are exempt/refuse to wear one you will be denied entry - Compulsory hand gel on arrival - You must queue separately for the store or Genius Bar, state why you want to enter the store and be escorted in by a staff member - Temperature Checks (For some reason, this was the only store where I didn't get a temperature check and I was told it was banned in France) I explained upon entering the store that I just wanted to look around and wasn't looking for anything in particular, however, I still had to wait for a member of staff to explain this again too. Again, after entering the floor, I tried explaining this to a member of staff that I just wanted to look around and he persisted to try and help me, even though I clearly told him to just let me be. There's trying to help and then there's being pushy on the customer. It wasn't just these staff members that were rude, one staff member also targeted me as my mask fell down, perhaps because I was a tourist. A security guard also barred me from exiting the store and said I had to walk all the way around even though there was no one there because it was spreading COVID?? The store, in general, is small anyway, no Today at Apple feature and the Genius Bar is cramped I mean come on... If Apple on the Champs-Elysées can still bring most of the good from the usual experience even with the pandemic still ongoing why can't this store. It really disappoints a huge Apple fan like me.

Apple Store's have changed drastically during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath, in France, The UK and the US I've noticed the following - Compulsory masks - if you are exempt/refuse to wear one you will be denied entry - Compulsory hand gel on arrival - You must queue separately for the store or Genius Bar, state why you want to enter the store and be escorted in by a staff member - Temperature checks, if you display a high temperature you will be banned from entering (again Paris is really hot especially in the Summer, often coming close or topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit so is temperature really a good way of testing here?) The store staff seem friendly, they followed policy by a staff member escorting me in after a short wait outside, after he helped with my question he was happy to just leave me to it and take a look around the store, as I was able to relax and check my emails in the Today At Apple area which still had some seating. The part of the store with some Apple devices seemed a little small but the interior of the exterior of the store both remained stunning. Prices are slightly cheaper for devices compared to back home in the UK too! 4*
