Looking for a map in Paris
I will be passing through Paris and would like to buy topographical maps of
Burgundy which I have been unable to find at home.
The IGN No. 28 would suit my needs perfectly, but probably so would other
maps.
Would anyone suggest a store that would be likely to have IGN or other topo
maps in stock? If it is near to Gare Lyon, so much the better.
Thanks!

From the IGN web page:

IGN has a store in Paris, just off the Champs Elysées. The above
URL will give a map under "plan d'access" and also details of
other stores.

Re: Looking for a map in Paris
The Virgin Megastore in the Place Louis Armand is close to Gare de Lyon.
I'm not that familar with their stock, but I know that the FNAC stores carry
what you need. The closest FNAC is up the Rue de Lyone in the Place de la
Bastille (take the fork to the right on r de Lyon and the store is just to
your right when you reach the place). Otherwise, there are a lot of large
bookstores in the Place St. Michel that cater to students, but your they
would probably require taking a bus or taxi to get there in a reasonable
time. You could also try stores that cater to hiking needs (randonée).

Any FNAC should have them. If time allows you can go to the IGN shop
near Arc de Triomphe.

guide books (Google for address)

I think you can even find it in the "RELAY" bookshops within the station
itself (left of the main concourse, near the ticket hall).
