Shopping for Saffron in Paris?

Question

I am visiting Paris this weekend and have been ordered by my mom to buy some Spanish saffron for her. Can someone please guide where in Paris can I buy Spanish saffron at a reasonable price on Sunday / Monday. Please provide the shop address and the nearest Metro station.

Answer 1

Any little supermarket (Monoprix, Intermarché...) will sell saffron in the spice section. They are open on Mondays and sometimes Sunday mornings. They are located everywhere, there'll be at least one in your neighborhood.

Specialty stores like the one mentioned above may sell a higher quality version though.

Answer 2

Goumanyat & Son Royaume, 3 rue Charles-Francois Dupuis, 75003 Paris; (33-1) 4478-9674;
