I want to buy a hairdryer in Paris. I've done a lot of shopping there, but have never really noticed where to buy small appliances. The only place I can think of is the BHV department store, but I haven't completely checked out this store. Any other suggestions?

You'll find hairdryes at both BVH and Monoprix - I got one in Dinan last fall at a Monoprix for about 15 Euros I believe (small, travel sized), worked great!

I would check out Monoprix. It's a chain with several locations; I've been in the one that's on the Champs-Elysees. I didn't look specifically for a hairdryer there, but it's kind of a Target-like store. They have a website, so you could check for one online first: monoprix.fr

Thanks -- I will try Monoprix. I like to go there when in Paris. Worth a shot.

I bought one last July at the Monoprix in Paris at the metro stop: La Motte Picquet in the 15th arrondissement. The hairdryers are upstairs in the grocery store (at the back), vs downstairs w/all the clothes, etc. This Monoprix is much bigger and nicer than the one on the Champs-Elysees. Have fun!
