Hello Jay,

I can't answer all your question (I don't live in Paris) but I can try for
some of them:

> 1) What are the best bookstores for new and used photo books?

"La chambre claire" and "La photolibrairie"

> 4)  The archives mention a photo flea market south of Paris in
> early June.  Does it still exist?

Yes, it's in Bièvres (near Versailles) on the Sunday 4th of June
(officially, actually it begins on  Friday)

> 5) any recommendations on Minilabs - especially with B&W
> chromogenic films - what are the prices like?

PhotoService shops (several in Paris) are not bad for that.

> 6) How about pro labs for regular B&W processing and contact
> sheets.
Picto (the lab of a lot of star photogs) but they will never be as good as
you are.

> 7) How are film prices in Paris.

Expensive. For example a Velvia is about $8.6, E100VS $ 6.6, Delta 100 $4.6.

All the best,
