The supermarket would be better as they will be cellophane-wrapped which will be better for freshness and maybe even have a plastic case so that they don't get crushed in your bags going home.

If there's a Starbucks in your home town, try the madeleines there--they're quite good.

Try Hediards for the oval boxed ones from Commercy, where their fame comes from through Proust.

You might lose a lot of time searching for them.

Thanks all. I did try at the Monoprix and fanprix close to my hotel but couldnt find any. Yes, I did want the supermarket ones, not from patisseries. I will try the other suggestions here! Thanks

Every supermarket has them. There are with the cookies and things like that, usually near the coffee aisle. They are usually 1 kilo bags.

I got them at Hediards. They were really superior to the ones in the supermarkets. Thanks cigalechanta!
