Page 1 of DVD shopping in Paris

I`m currently in Paris spending Valentine`s with An and bought two great DVDs yesterday:





Was gonna get Destination Docklands and Concert Pour La Tolerance on DVD as my video copies are wearing out but couldn`t find them.

Do French DVD`s output video as SECAM (the format used for terrestrial broadcasts in France) or PAL - I`ve often wondered?

The discs I got are marked PAL.

You know you can get them over here I take it? What were the prices like?

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

Most French DVD`s are PAL, the odd one or two are NTSC.

I find the price of DVD`s here in Paris very high. There is the occasional bargain in the sales but very few and far between.

With online shopping it`s quite different and some sites have very reasonably priced DVD`s. Anyone interested in seeing what`s available, I`d advise using DVD Pas Cher as a search engine.

A few online retailers won`t deliver outside France though.

PS Apparently JMJ has one of his houses just round the corner from where I live.

Do what PeteMc advises. He has been very helpful and I managed to purchase a DVD of a film I have been trying to get for over twenty years!
Thanks Pete, again.

I`m all embarassed!

Whilst I don`t know the French market inside out, I`ve got a fair idea of how it works here having bought a fair few discs since moving here.

If anyone needs any help with French DVD shopping just let me know.

Thanks for the endorsement Bats :)
