Elizabeth's camera "died" - Where in Paris can we buy a new digital camera?
For some reason, her camera is no longer working. We all would hate for her to not be able to take photos. We're heading to Giverny tomorrow.
I know there is no target or walmart in central Paris, but is there any department store we can go to that would have an electronics section with digital cameras that wouldn't be too expensive.
Thanks!

Oh No!! There's a large FNAC on Blvd St-Germain. It's on the same side of the street as the Cluny museum and a few blocks toward the Deux Maggots if you are approaching from the intersection of Blvd St-Michel and Blvd St-Germain.
Take the camera with you as it may only be a battery.

There's also a FNAC store in the Les Halles shopping dungeon. Look also for Matphot, Pictis, or Shop-Photo/Video; a full-service camera store would be able to check the battery to confirm whether or not it was the problem.

Thanks, I posted my message and I thought of BHV, which is just a few blocks from our apartment, so we headed out. Just got back from BHV and <b>DDOMF</b> bought a Nikon coolpix. Of course, she'll have to get an adapter for the USA.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't the batteries, as we changed to new batteries. DF says it was user error - she may have dropped, as I noticed the lens being slightly crooked.
Of course, the manual is in French (and other languages) but not in English.
Merci!
Monica

OK, my camera did not "die"....it was stolen out of my purse on a very crowded bus. (Some Houdini-handed skamp) Anyway, if I don't get a camera to post pictures to the blog of my travels in Paris....my blog friends back home may not let me even come home! So grateful for this
Fodor's community. I'll try FNAC tomorrow and hope for the best. I'll let you know.....

The OP posted in 2009. Hopefully the information in this thread still holds. Though I'm sure kerouac is up to date.
Mogo, next time maybe start your own thread. (Click on the yellow "Start a new topic" button at the top left of this page.)
