It means: elf turrets-trinkets, small turrets and scarves we buy directly from the Eiffel Tower from Afro-French people :-) They will come running and shout in Russian: "Hey, fellow countryman" :-) BARGAINING! If the keychain costs 3 euros, we boldly give 1, bargain for 2 and get the second keychain for free as a gift :-) With scarves, the same nonsense. We buy the rest of the souvenirs in Montmartre in souvenir shops, it is cheaper there if you take several at once. T-shirts only take there, excellent quality.
If we want cosmetics. We're going to the shopping center "Womb of Paris", damn it, I lost the metro map, I would say the station: -( This is the one next to Pompidou. I don’t remember the name of the center itself, but Emile Zola called this historical place the Womb of Paris. On the -2nd floor there is a wonderful perfume shop, perfumes, cosmetics at nice prices (they already recognized me by sight ):-) At Rivoli (which is at the Louvre, the same cosmetics are 5-10 euros more expensive. You can eat anywhere. In the shopping center excellent pizza from the oven :-) In Montmartre in Oscar they give toad paws and onion soup, I recommend it.

You can also eat (if without chic and relatively inexpensively) at McDonald's, in Paris they are very decent. The farther from the center, the cheaper, but the quality is normal.

You can eat for a moderate fee (set lunch or individual dishes) on Rue Rivoli, near the Louvre, in a tourist restaurant opposite the Tuileries Garden. Finding it is easy, following from the Louvre to the square with the Egyptian Obelisk, along the gallery. They feed groups and not only. It is quite possible to meet 10-15 euros with lunch and 5-7 with a snack (salad, dessert).

Rivoli is the most expensive street .. after the Champs Elysees :-) We drank beer there for 4 euros .. wine in Greece is half the price :-)

I do not argue, but in this case we are talking about a budget restaurant for tourist groups and indus. tourists.
Yes, another idea.
Gourmets take note: regional restaurants with a decent menu and prices can be found in the streets around the Comédie Française.

With Afro-French people at the Eiffel Tower, if you decide to buy souvenirs there, be very vigilant! And you can eat at the Hippopotamus bistro chain. In my opinion, a good combination of price and quality. And the metro station that you wrote about is called Chatelet Les Halles. There are a lot of different shops. different salads and other ready-to-eat.

If it’s still relevant, I can advise the Chez Clement restaurant (CheClement) near the Opera (if you stand with your back to the Opera, then the first turn to the right and immediately across the road), Address: 17, boulevard des Capucines. The food is good there, but there are always a lot of people, so you may have to wait. In general, in the afternoon we dined at the Galeries Lafayette, there is a self-service cafe on the 5th floor (in my opinion, on the 5th), you take a plate and everything that fits into it costs 4-5 euros. The choice is good and the prices are normal, you can also buy souvenirs there (on the same floor).

For tourists from the former CIS, what would be bigger and on the ball, if you like, you can get souvenirs from suppliers and give you 2 times cheaper than in boutiques, high prices in France are explained by high taxes and expensive rent, prices for souvenirs are raised in Five times.

and how much I wouldn’t have bargained with Afro-Parisians so that they would sell me 10 pieces for 1 euro .. they weren’t in any !!))) they also sent me in “broken” Russian)) I generally saw from them there! more advice there, these merchants are very obsessive .. they suck everything they have .. moreover, Chinese garbage that we have in bulk))
at the expense of scarves ... I would not advise buying from them .. the quality is not so hot! .. well .. for an amateur)))

As for key chains from Afro-French - do not take .... such rubbish - not worthy to be brought from PARIS! They only have more models of eiffel turrets, nothing that you can put up. Upon arrival in Paris, we were immediately taken on a bus tour with a stop at the Trocadero site, and there these Afro-Parisians were apparently invisible .... well, we bought these key rings))) which I was ashamed to give to someone later. In souvenir shops, everything is much more interesting, though at different prices, but if you take a few units, no matter what - there is a good discount - like wholesale))) In the Notre Dame area, there are small streets - I don’t remember the names, there are a lot of shops with nice prices for Souvenirs and a good choice, but in general, of course, Montmartre has the most choice.
