Last Emperor French 3 disc edition available in Paris?

I'm travelling to Paris next week and the one DVD I'd like to pick up is the French 3 DVD deluxe edition of "The Last Emperor" ("Le Dernier empereur"). Does anyone know if this is available locally in Paris?
Heres a link to the set I'm looking for:

Your best bet is probably checking out FNAC.

FNAC is a French retailer who sells electronics, DVD's, CD's, books, etc. There are several locations around Paris. Definitely check out the locations at Champs-Elysees and Les Halles.

Also, the Virgin Megastore on the Champs-Elysees is definitely worth checking out. They're usually a little more expensive though.

I assume if you don't know what FNAC is you also don't know the French DVDs aren't suitable for non-French subtitle readers? Or do you just want the cardboard?


Criterion is doing a release.

The DVD has an English track.
This set has an 80 page book exclusive to the French release - I'd call that a little more than just "cardboard".
Yes, I'm aware Criterion is doing a release.

BJackson - thanks for the info. I'll check out FNAC and Virgin.

Then I don't understand your comment about "you also don't know the French DVDs aren't suitable for non-French subtitle readers?". If I don't read French why would I care about French subtitles when theres the original English audio track?
Thanks for your "help" anyway.
