Default Paris, France - Place to buy lampwork glass?

Hi all...

Heading to Paris this week and wondered if any of you know of a place in Paris to buy lampworking glass?

Thanks!

I know of no sellers of glass supplies in Paris
There are teachers in Paris
And there are beadmakers in Paris
And of course great bread!

Thanks, Mike for your post.
It was a long shot, but worth a try.
Yes...great bread, but I know of one bakery that makes FABULOUS lemon tart.
Then there is always Berthillon for ice cream!
Have a good one!

Use this chart to find some of them (members of the French lampworkers association)
http://www.perliers-art.com/index.ph...s/localisation

Not all of them are members of the association or on the chart, though, and not many have a store or a place where they sell. You might have trouble contacting them and finding their beads. Just a warning. The French are not the best at marketing and customer service (compared to here).
Maybe start with Pascal Guégan's place in the south east suburbs

L'age du verre

73 rue de la division Leclerc
91380 Chilly Mazarin
France
Phone 09 81 97 05 29
Directeur Pascal Guégan
E-mail guegan@club-internet.fr

I know he sells glass and tools and rents studio time and hosts classes. It might be a good place to start. Vanessa Bunet and Beau Anderson often hang out at his place.

Bonne chance!

Pascal's website

Also try to find Michi Suzuki's beads at several galleries http://michisuzuki.info/galerie/
Her beads are spectacular

And don't forget Ladurée macarons!
