I have been very surprised, last Saturday, when walking on Bd Beaumarchais. This used to be the temple of photo, but has changed a lot. Cirque is still operating; Prophot does not care about those who may be busy M-F and is apparently also still operating, but is closed on Saturdays. There are a few small used camera and repair shops (including the venerable Odeon Photo, that has unfortunately not been the same in terms of friendliness since they closed their store on Bd St-Germain a long time ago). I do not know what happened to Le Moyen Format, that had the friendliest people working there and was still open a few months ago, but the location was marked for rent... That especially, and the whole state of the area where photo shops have been replaced by cafes or cheap (or not so cheap) clothing stores, makes me rather sad..
Have other stores opened elsewhere in Paris to compensate for the loss of those near Bastille ?
