I snagged this off of the 'net; it may help (the site claims that all have
excellent ambient/techno/IDM selections):
-----------------------------
- Virgin Megastore. LARGE stores, with CDs, Vinyl, Cassettes and
LPs, Videotapes (different format than VHS), books, computer
CD-Roms, and more. Also concert listings, flyers and you can buy
tickets here. LOTS of listening stations. Might have been
possible to request to listen to any CD, but I am not 100% sure.
LOCATIONS: Carrousel de Louvre (the shopping mall underneath the
Louvre) and on the Champs Elysees.
- FNAC. These were all over the city. The branch I visited was smaller
than the Virgin Megastores, and seemed to focus on recorded music, but
with videotapes too. Could also buy tickets and see concert listings.
LOCATIONS: I visited the one near the Bastille Metro stop, and there is
another branch in the Forum des Halles. (Metro: Chatlet-Les-Halles or
Etienne-Marcel, 1-7, rue Pierre-Lescot. 1er.) I passed by at least two
others elsewhere in the city.
- Galeries Lafayette. There is a bookstore/music store/video
store in the basement. Not wonderful, but another place to
purchase tickets.
LOCATION: 40 Bd. Haussmann, 42-82-36-40 / 42-82-34-56, 9e. Metro: Opera
or Havre-Caumartin)
