this is the list i was talking about, great shops, esp. the flea markets
Boulinier
20, bd St-Michel
75006 Paris
Telephone: (01) 43 26 90 57
6è arrondissement
Mo St-Michel or Cluny-La Sorbonne
Boulinier is a multi-storied shop which carries everything from comics to posters to video games, as well as recordings in all formats. There are a wide variety of used LP's (jazz, pop, classical, and rock) typically priced at 25F each. At 50F - 60F, used CD's are about half the price of new.
Pont Neuf
Quai de Louvre (Rivre droit/Right bank)
1er arrondissement
and
Quai de Conti (Rivre gauche/Left bank)
6è arrondissement
Mo Pont-Neuf
On both sides of the River Seine, just west of the Pont Neuf, are stalls which resemble newsstands, but which feature souvenirs and vintage collectibles, including LP's. The selection leans towards 1960's pop, rock and blues. Here I spotted some original Chess pressings by Bo Diddley, among others, for 200F, about what you would expect to pay in the US. Offer 100F, expect to pay 150F.
Unfortunately, my visit was too short to be as thorough as I usually prefer it to be. However, the following shops were either recommended by other record collectors or their Yellow Pages listing suggests that they stock vinyl (arranged geographically by arrondissement):
