Breakfast cereals in Paris
We are going to Paris and for dietary purposes want to remain on spoon sized shredded wheat and raisin bran. Does anyone know if these cereals are available in Paris? If so, which supermarkets? Merci!

If you can't find it at FranPrix or Monoprix (and my recollection is Monoprix has a pretty good selection of American cereals), you can always try Thanksgiving in the Marais or The Real McCoy near Invalides.
If you're not going to be gone long, you might want to stock up on the spoon sized shredded wheat, which will be harder to find than the raisin bran.

I have never seen raisin bran in a normal supermarket, but you will find that more than half of the cereals in the supermarket are aimed at adults requiring fiber and similar stuff and of course the other ones are the sugary horrors aimed at kids, but without the weird food coloring. There is absolutely no need to go to one of the import stores if you are not a fanatic.

You can not get Raisin Bran in Paris. I have not paid attention the Shredded Wheat, but you won't find it in the regular, neighborhood places. You used to be able to get All Bran, but I haven't looked lately.
However, Kerouac is right, and there are plenty of high fibre options.

Here is the Kellogg's French site, which clearly shows All-Bran, but not Raisin Bran. So bring a bag of raisins. They also make a really good Special K here, with 'fruits rouges' - dried strawberries, raspberries, etc., which is better than I remember in North America, and certainly better than South Africa, where I have also tried it.

You may find some of the same cereals, however they are not the same as the North American counterparts - Special K is different in the UK, as are Corn Flakes. Just more of an FYI because we were surprised when we first moved here

I hope the OP knows just how much SUGAR is in the two cereals mentioned. IMO being in Europe would allow the perfect opportunity to try some truly high fiber/low sugar products for breakfast but hey, to each their own.
