Parisian papeteries

One nice thing about the Frogs is that they share my personal fetish
for nice stationery. As a result, no trip to Paris is complete without
a litte browsing and probably an ill-advised purchase at one of the
many "papeteries" to be found there.

Some favourites;

Gibert Jeune, at St Michel. Underground department with a nice
selection of notebooks!

Can't remember its name, but it's on the corner of rue La Fayette and
avenue de Provence - two floors, the upper one with fancy paper,
artists supplies, pens, and the lower one with notebooks and
office-type stuff

The department stores are good :

Galeries Lafayette used to be one of the best, but since it moved to
the basement there isn't such a range

Samaritaine and Printemps are OK,

but the best by far is ...

BHV - with a huge range of notebooks, paper blocs, pens, artists
supplies, filing stuff. A veritable treasure trove.

And finally - even our local Carrefour has a respectable stationery department.

It's one of my favorite things too.

Florence had a couple nice places, with some high priced, but very nice
products....

Harrods of Knightsbridge also has a respectable department.
