Practical tips
To reach these places, the tramway is your best ally. Lines B and C serve the center and the Saint-Michel district well (Porte de Bourgogne or St-Jean stations). For L 'Entrepôt Saint Germain, line B toward Gare Saint-Jean is convenient. As for opening hours, most shops open between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., but be careful: many are closed on Monday or Tuesday morning. I recommend aiming for Wednesday or the weekend to have the widest choice, while arriving early to avoid the crowds, especially in Saint-Michel where parking spaces are scarce.
