Where to buy tapestries in Paris?
 
Hi there,
I know there is Gobelins Factory but do they sell there as well? Is there anywhere else to buy tapestries and/or old fabric and lace? Thanks for the help! PS does anyone know the address of the factory?

I haven't been to the Gobelins tapestry factory in years, but I seem to recall that they did have some things for sale there. I think they had a gift shop, for example. Those pieces were not remotely cheap, however, so you can't compare them to old fabric. The Gobelins tapestry factory is in the 13th arrondisement, in between the Place d'Italie and Gobelins metro stops, as I recall (off ave des Gobelins). I'm sure it is easy to find with a simple search on Google.
