Hi Patrick,
If you like digital media stuff, ICC always has nice installations.

have fun!

I'll be in Paris next week. Any suggestions?

I think there is not much digital/media stuff in Paris (from my limited knowledge). I usually just go to stationery stores.

Robopolis collects anything robot from around the world: http://www.robopolis.com/

Shakespeare & Company is a nice book store to spend time:

If you like stationery, on Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe has many paperie stores:

Papier +: http://marais.evous.fr/Papier-plus.html

Calligrane: http://www.fodors.com/world/europe/france/paris/review-117724.html

Just walk along the road and you will find a lot, it is also close to Shakespeare & Company

If you like fountain pen, this is a good source for stores to visit:

Sentou: http://www.sentou.fr/fr/
