Monoprix in 5th
 
Anyone know where the Monoprix in the 5th is located?

If you just want groceries, you can look up Franprix, too... but I don't think Franprix has the 'department store' type of goods.
You can use www.pagesjaunes.fr, as mentioned above, type in "supermarche" in the activity and "75005" in the locality, and then you will get all the grocery store listings.

The only one is just south of the Censier metro stop (which is the Gobelins address). It's not a very good one, either. It's kind of old and run-down compared to many others, and rather small, so doesn't have as much. It doesn't have a grocery, either, although most of them do.

Thanks all. I don't really need it for groceries, but as mentioned in an earlier post, I will need to buy a blow dryer and flat iron for hair. I am staying in an apt on Rue Ecole Polytechnique and hopefully there will places to buy groceries nearby.

oh, well, it might be okay for that kind of thing. It's okay for cosmetics, toiletries, stuff like that and it has some clothes (Tshirts, underwear, etc) but not as many as other stores. It doesn't have a large housewares section, but it will probably have hairdryers. It might be just as easy or even easier to go to the one on rue de Rennes in St-Germain by metro direct from the Maubert stop to Mabillon instead of trying to get to that one down below Censier.
