I asked at my hotel how to find the place and was told as a non-professional chef I didn't need to know! Bleeping French! Never made it there but it is on my list for whenever I make it to Paris again. I just won't be asking diddly from the hotel staff.
If you do, make sure you go into the "professional section" - the basement of the shop.
I will be going there next summer and I plan on picking up a few tin lined hand hammered copper saucepans (2.5mm) by Mauviel.
That place is definitely not in the low rent district!!!! Big place for what is essentially the city center.
Make sure to go to the Maille mustard shop too. They have mustard on tap.Originally Posted by Canadian

There's a little something in the Lucky Peach issue with mattrud's knives on the back about duck presses.
"See... the problem here is that... my little brother, this morning, got his arm caught in the microwave, and uh... my grandmother dropped acid and she freaked out, and hijacked a school bus full of... penguins, so it's kind of a family crisis... so come back later? Great."

Hey...those look like Nogents, in the catalogue! Liars!
From what I remember those knives on that red board where HUGE and that second one down didn't even look real. It looked like a knifemaker had it made as a prop.And a small area where a chef donated his knifes for show .
