Craving a chapka to warm your ears or a portion of Polish pierogi? Then head to C comme en Pologne, an unpretentious little grocery store-cum-second-hand shop in the 18th arrondissement. The friendly Polish couple that run the shop sell paprika sausage from Wroclaw and other Polish foodstuffs alongside vintage shirts made in Paris, clothes and crafts from their homeland.
Anyone with a thing for Polish cuisine will love the national treats stacked on the food shelves: soups, spices, pierogi, sweets and chocolate bars. In the clothes section prices are reasonable, ranging from €15 to €30 for second hand classic cuts, retro prints and charmingly folkloric artisanal Polish designs: lambskin gloves, warm boots, leather belts and woolly jumpers.
