Many shops have gotten extremely pricey in recent years but, yeah, a must.

The 13 Bonaparte boutique may be worth a look. Picked up a waxed cotton jacket from them last year that I quite like.

You have to try several parisians pastry shops : Pierre Hermé, Sadaharu Aoki (Japanese touch on French pastries), Aux Merveilleux de Fred, des Gateaux et du Pain, Eclair de Génie, La Patisserie des Reves.

It's worth it ! You'll burn the calories in no time with all the trips to clothes shops

@Fuuma have you ever posted photos of your apartment when it isn't just the background of fitpics? Would be cool to see

Haven't been to the Marché aux Puces in forever, but I don't think that I'm going to have the time to head all the way out on this trip.

We'll be right next to cluny-la-sorbonne, which means I can maybe find the time to sneak into my favorite museum (unicorns). I am definitely going to Sadaharu Aoki.

Here it is for Sadaharu Aoki close to Jardin du Luxembourg

Anyone know the deal with prepaid sim cards/etc? last time I checked it was a pain **********.

This place is legit: http://www.cellhire.com/ based in Texas. I know someone whose used it; due to some shipping mishap I cancelled my order and just used AT&T's international passport plan instead (much less data though, but being able to make phone calls was nice).

I was able to get a SFR prepaid card over the counter with no questions, registration, etc. 9 or 10 euro for the card and another 10 euro for 1GB of data.

Thanks, guys - just saw att's passport thing, which i've never tried, but seems like an easy solution.

My wife has been researching a Paris trip for us this Spring. She came across this easy to follow summery for food and shopping from Lonely Planet http://www.lonelyplanet.com/france/paris/shopping
