Need quick advice on where to buy 120 film in Paris.

I'm travelling to Paris tomorrow morning and need some advice on where I can buy 120 film for a decent price in Paris.

I went to the Pro lab on friday to load up on some film for the trip. It was a sunny day and for some reason I decided to go with the 5-pack of Portra 160VC instead of the 400VC as my color c41 choice. Now that it looks like the weather will be on the rainy side I fear that the 160 is too slow for my hassy (max. aperture is only 2.8 and strong mirrorslap prevents me from using slow speeds).
I still got a few rolls of Kodak E200 that I can push a stop or two but I'd rather not since push-processing is more expensive.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I usually buy from photostock (http://www.photostock.fr/) because it is cheaper but be careful, they only sell films by 10 !
If you find that is too much (or that the store is too far to the north), you could also go to Objectif Bastille (http://www.objectifbastille.com/), they are competent as well.

Thanks!

Photostock has ok prices but packs of 10 are just too much for me. I might check out objectif bastille, although they're rather expensive.

I really hope we get a few sunny days in Paris next week. Doesn't look like it at the moment.
