dinner set usa image

The stylish plates by the French manufacturer used to be sold in Walmart! (alas, no more) and our guests thought they were really fancy. But now after 9 years, several are broken. Can I buy them in the USA?
I prefer to buy new (not ebay etc) as the manufacturer is still in business - but in France...
Please dont recommend Replacements Ltd. I simply want to buy a set at a store like Target, since the manufacturer is still in business but in France.

Been in a similar situation recently. My wife and I found a great site for replacing dinnerware and the like. It's called Replacements, Ltd. - we found my mother's set and purchased them there and they came exactly as described and affordable to boot. I've included the link below.
P.S. I did a search there were lots of patterns for Arcopal!

How much would I be expected to spend in a week in Paris, France?
FashionFie
I am visiting Paris, France for a week and I am wondering how much I would be expected to spend per day on the essentials like food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc.) and transportation whether it's a bus, train or a cab.
I will be taking like $2,000 extra cash and I want to know if that's enough.
I would like to dine in inexpensive cafés, I'm sure there has to be some.
Also, what is the sales tax?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Answer
Paris is pretty expensive and France in general is expensive to eat out. However, you can fine good small restaurants. Most places will have several levels of set menu, each with several choices for starter, main course and dessert. Or a price for a starter and main or a main and dessert. These menus are often good value and are much cheaper than using the a la carte menu. Look out for the Plat du jour (dish of the day), which is usually the best value of all.
Working as a waiter is a career in France rather than something done mostly by kids like in the USA or UK and the waiters make proper money, which is reflected in the prices..
Alcohol can be really expensive especially if you order drinks at an outside table at a smart place. 1,500% mark up over the supermarket price of drinks isn't uncommon.
Don't take all your money in cash. ATMs will work fine and everywhere will take cards. But be aware of the charges on your card.
Sales tax and service are usually included in the prices displayed. You won't be expected to tip an additional 15 or 20% like you are in the USA.
