    Usually open from 10am to 7pm, some of them are open later. Some supermarkets close at 10pm or even later. You can classify two different kinds of supermarkets:

    - Monoprix (http://www.monoprix.fr/), Shopi, Franprix and Ed l’épicier are local downtown supermarkets,
    - Carrefour, Auchan, Leclerc are bigger hypermarkets located in the suburb.

    Local market places are Rue Levis (metro Villier), Montorgueuil (metro Réaumur-Sébastopol) or Rue du Commerce (metro La Motte-Picquet Grenelle), in addition to other markets.

    The main area for fashion and big department stores is Boulevard Haussman (metro Haussman or Opéra) where are les Galleries Lafayette and le Printemps. A more eccentric or kitsch area is Le Marais (metro St Paul).

    Since recently you can also do a lot of shopping (for food as well as for other things) through the Internet:

    The delivery is usually about 8 €.

    French people are also used, as for a lot of people, to order take away meals. The best known is obviously Pizza-Hut.

    Paris is the most heavenly romantic city in the world
    My husband and I had never been to Paris before and thought we would have difficulty finding our way around and as we only had three nights we thought we wouldn't see very much.
    We saw hundreds and hundreds of fabulous things, places, shops, restaurants, wine bars and more wine bats, romantic French restaurants, quaint bistros, Chinese to die for on Rue la Boutie If we had three months there, we would still not have seen everything - can't wait to go again.
