Photography shops in Paris

[Yef]

Hello everyone

Do you know where in Paris I can find shops that sell b&w developing chemicals ?
Looking specifically for Rollei developer but if not it so d76.


Thank you

Rue (Blvd.?) Beaumarchais has tons of photo shops, at the end near Bastille; that's where I'd try first.
If you're near a FNAC, pop in and ask if they still sell chemicals on the off-chance they still do.
Sorry, but it's been about two years since my last visit, I'm sure some "natives" will give you better information in the morning.

Related, a friend of mine just moved to Paris and is looking for a public darkroom for developing film and printing (35mm & 6x7 enlarger). Anyone know facilities you can rent by the hour? Thanks. Andrej.

I used to go to Self Color in the 10e, don't know if they are still open, but it was a great place; one 8x10 enlarger, two or three colour rooms, very friendly staff.

There are more than a dozen shops on Boulevard Beaumarchais (Metro Bastille or Chemin Vert), for large format, this is probably the best: http://www.lemoyenformat.com/GFweb/GFsommaire.html, with a substantial used selection. Unfortunately, I cannot help with chemicals, but most people on French forums seem to use mail order. Perhaps some french forum participants can help you out.

The shops of Bd Beaumarchais are mainly sellers of photo stuff (but Lab Distribution, 22 bd Beaumarchais has some chemichals). The most prominent maybe Prophot http://www.materiel-photo-pro.com/argentique/chimie.html They do have D76 but, apparently, no Rollei developper.

Another shop not on the Boulevard Beaumarchais but not very far

Damien Féau
SELS D'ARGENT
7 Rue Taylor

I must confess that not living in Paris, after spending 10 years there as a student (with many, many visits to the Boulevard B.) I actually mail-order all my photographic consumables in film chemistry .. like they have been used to, in Northern America (as they say) for decades ;)

Self-Color is still there, but enlargers no longer seem to be offered in their service.

Anyway,, it's not far from Rue Taylor and the Boulevard B.
