La Rochelle, then headed to the east, towards Paris, and I am in need of fabric shops along the way. HELP!! I am not too good at navigating the internet!! Thanks in advance, Sophie

Quilt shops in France are very few and far between and also very expensive. Count on paying between 18-26 Euros/metre for fabric, currently $24 - $34 a metre. Other "quilty" items are proportionately as expensive.
A few good ones in Paris, and there are others in the Bouche de Rhone or Mediterranean coastal cities - not much good for a Paris visit!
However here a few links to some in and very close to Paris.

following is approx 25kms south west of Paris

south side of Paris

I live in the south west so don't know the stores, but got the details from the website of French Quilting Guild.
Also general fabric stores often have a patchwork dedicated counter, such as this one just by La Rochelle

Could be worth a visit, and they speak English too.
Here are some other fabric stores in La Rochelle
