ADDRESSES OF CACTI RETAILERS
ESTABLISHMENTS BRU AND SON : 12 Quai de la
Mégisserie 75001 PARIS. Tel. : 01 42 36 41 23, Fax: 01 40 26 21 60.
This address is that of one of the main flower shops "les Quais de la
Seine", a touristic district of Paris. You will always be welcome in
this shop which I visit. Apart from plants in general and horticultural material,
Mr Bru created a specialized counter for collection cacti. Cacti come from
the main European growers. Obviously it's a little more expensive than in
the nurseries, but thus, you can avoid travelling around all Europe and you
can see the plants before buying them. You can also have
the opportunity to order a plant if it's not in stock.
