Hedonie
Published on: 2008-11-10	Shopping
Located quite near to Saint Sulpice church, Hedonie is a natural foods and cosmetics store with over 4000 different items collected under one roof. In addition to the fresh fruits and vegetables that arrive daily, there is also coffee, tea, canned goods, spices, wine and cosmetics, and each one has been personally inspected and approved by the owner, Sylvie. With the organic food store Marchais standing on nearby Boulevard Raspail, this area boasts a lot of popular places, giving prospective customers some very wide eyes. This isn't a place that only appeals to those committed to eating natural foods though. There are plenty of delicious items carefully made by individual producers that aren't even organic, but it all works together perfectly. You'll even be introduced to traditional vegetables that are become increasingly rare year by year, such as the Beef Heart Tomato" and "Black Tomato . And there are plenty of great ideas for souvenirs to bring back to Japan. Although they're a little heavy, how about Sylvie's surprisingly tasty bottles of oiled sardines? And of course, they've gathered together lots of the latest organic wines. And you certainly won't want to forget to pick up some of the fresh baked Poujauran bread you can buy here either! It's great to be able to get some of this traditional bread, which has been hard to get a taste of since the shop closed. One piece of the small size is just 90 cents (about 150 yen). Furthermore, since they've got the following lunch sets, you'll be able to easily enjoy a picnic in nearby Luxembourg Park. Vegetarian (Salad or Soup Yogurt or Compote Drink Small Poujauran Bread) 5.75 Gourmand (Fish Salad or Tart or Pizza Drink Poujauran Bread) 6.60 Complete (Choose 2 from: Salad, Soup, Tart, or Pizza Drink Small Poujauran Bread) 8.95 Incidentally, having been in business for many years, Sylvie knows a bit about Japan and even has an image of a yuzu fruit in the store's logo.

Etam Lingerie
Published on: 2008-11-10	Shopping
Etam is a French chain of stores where you can get reasonably priced clothing and accessories. And plenty of it definitely looks like it's from Paris. This chain's lingerie shop is, of course, called Etam Lingerie. While they already had one of these in the middle of Paris, in May of 2005 they opened a much larger shop on Rue de Rennes. Etam has become synonymous with Europe's greatest lingerie shop . Etam's lingerie is created with the mantra reasonable, but with real fashion sense . Brassieres start at around 20 euros, and underwear starts around 10 euros. Cute, romantic, sexy... You'll find lots of underwear with that French sense. And by the way, men can come in this lingerie shop with no compunction, so head in as a couple and make some great memories!
