A small chain of convenience stores called Chez Jean have opened around Paris, offering all the essentials from 7am-11pm, seven days a week even Christmas and May 1st. Modeled a bit like the stores at a highway rest stop, they have snacks, sandwiches, salads, and hot dishes served at the counter, tables to sit an eat, shelves of dry goods and refrigerated sections with pre-packaged meals, drinks, even an organic food shelf. Flowers, office supplies, a cash machine, lotto tickets, newspapers and magazines, some electric essentials (batteries, fuses), personal care, baby care, and of course, all the wine and junk food you usually find at convenience stores. There are also bathrooms, phone recharge stations, and WiFi. It’s oddly cute yet impersonal, and where else in Paris do you get a bottomless up of coffee with breakfast? 153 rue Charenton, 12th; 37 rue Fbg Montmartre, 9th; 7 rue Lafayette, 9th; 13 ave de la République, 11th.
