Shopping for Books and Music in Paris, France

FNAC - Along with books and music, FNAC sells electronics.  Incidentally, if you didn't bring a guide book with you, this is the place to go. It has a wide selection of tourist guides and métro/street maps. - 74 av. des Champs-Elysées, 8e.
 
Tea and Tattered Pages - This bookshop has lots of selections in English and a tearoom in the back. - 24 rue Mayet, 6e
 
Virgin Megastore - If you are interested in checking out the French music scene, this is the store for you.  They have music styles we have never heard of (Death Metal?)  Take advantage of the listening stations for a free preview, but be aware the lines can be long. CDs in France are not cheap so this isn’t your best bet for generic music.  But, if you do find something you like in French Music (I got hooked on MC Solaar), consider picking it up here. It will be easier and cheaper than buying it as an “import” back home.  -  52-60, Av. des Champs Élysées, 8e.
