St. Michel, my first mistake) and turn right at first block to Rue de St Andres des Art. It is NOT on the street itself (my 2nd mistake) but in passageway Couer de Commerce between #59 and 61. Once you enter, the shop is 10+ meters on your left. It is indeed tiny but a paper lover/writer's haven: journals, day timers, cards, pens & accessories, wooden bookmarks, postcards, wrapping paper et al. My favorite purchases included separate leather cases (holds one pen each) - I got three in red, blue and orange each - a sheave of wrapping paper in different designs and a wood bookmark. Many of the products are beautifully designed and handmade; the owner will tell you which country they are from or made in, The items I bought were from in Italy, India and France. Well worth the effort to find!

The shop has everything I was looking for in supplies.

I hope to get back one more time to stock up before leaving town.

Her and her work partner are both SO knowledgeable and intelligent - as an artist you may not even know what you need that day but these women will help you find it. It's a pro store. From oil to Goauche to acrylic to the pencil and pastel spectrum - Adam has it. The papers. The canvasses. Limitless options here. And the service - again - besides being so smart and helpful, these women can multitask like bartenders - they ring and advise and demo and help and do it over and over again without missing a beat. Thanks to Adam, I got everything I need to create exactly what I want I can't wait come back.

I love to wander…read morewhichever direction my feet take me, and on one recent day, they took me right past Rougier et Ple. I was honestly not sure what to expect. The building is REALLY big and kind of loud in decor. They sell a wide variety of items, mostly for arts and crafts. For Americans, think of it like a really big, expanded Michael's. I found a bunch of super cool cards and postcards there (I can never help myself... I love cards). And then as I went up floor after floor, I found the most stunning displays of paints, colored pencils, markers, canvases, etc. I didn't immediately locate the stairwell and instead rode up in the elevator. Don't do that... it's covered in graffiti and kind of nasty. Take the steps. But I had a great time poking around in this store and totally am happy I stumbled upon it during my adventuring!
