Marseille Olive Soap in Paris - where?

My husband and I discovered the Savonnerie de la Licorne in Marseille which is the oldest fabricant of the olive soap. We called about ordering some by mail and having it shipped but since we want the long bars that you cut into slices, the shipping was more than the soap! Since I will be passing through Paris tomorrow on my way to Bretagne for thalasso I was hoping to find it somewhere in Paris. I want the long natural olive bars sometimes called Alep. They are not perfumed but have a natural scent and look pretty rustic, hand made, not molded neatly with logos, etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You could try Oliviers et Co., 28 rue de Buci, in the 6th.

Thanks, we have one of those at the end of our street and they are double the price of the small fabricants.

Sorry, I didn't realize that Oliviers is in US; we only got Occitane here in Pgh. in last few years!

I'm not in the US, I'm in Swizerland! Oliviers is owned by the same people who own O'Occitane.

Eeek, I'm in error all the way around!

At any rate, I hope you find what you want easily in Paris!
