Well, I was going to recommend Rough Trade, but, obvously you can't get to
it, but, just up the street that Ts into the street Rough Trade is on, is
Rue Keller, that has a really good little café Le Petit Keller, so have a
bite some afternoon. Incidentaly thats the same area that the movie
"Chacune Cherche Son Chat" (When the Cat's Away) was filmed--or at least
there's a map of that area on its amazing soundtrack, that you can pick up
at FNAC. And FNAC isn't all bad, they do have a Rap Français section, and
had some vinyl when I was there last summer--got Solaar's "Paradisique".
