DO you mean grocery stores? There is a Champion (or is it a Franprix) on the rue de Buci, corner rue de Seine. For Dept, Stoe, the closest is the Bon Marche (M) Sevres Babylone.

As noted, for general grocery neds, the CHAMPION supermarché on rue de Seine (near Carrefour de Buci) will be your best bet. There is also the daily street market on rue de Buci for fresh items—fresh produce, fish, etc and the best roasted chicken in Paris. This same immediate neighborhood will also have both KAYSER’s (rue de l’Ancienne Comédie) and PAUL’S (rue de Seine) boulangeries. There are also many small shops in the immediate neighborhood. If you want to go farther field in your daily shopping, there are the great street markets at Place Monge and along rue Mouffetard, just across the border into the 5eme-Latin Quarter, both within easy (and very pleasant) strolling / walking distances of your rue Saint Andrée des Arts location.

For basic household items and staples, there is also a MONOPRIX store located at 50 rue de Rennes, just south (1/2 block south of Blvd. Saint Germain)of the SAINT GERMAIN des PRÉS Metro station. As noted, there is the Le BON MARCHÉ ‘grand magazin’-- http://www.lebonmarche.fr/ ---located down near the SEVRÈ-BABYLONE Metro stop…but for basic rental apartment ‘..equipment / supplies..’, you will probably be better off at the BHV (Bazar de l’ Hôtel de Ville) store--- http://www.bhv.fr/#Séquence_1

---across the Seine on the Right Bank, at the intersection of rue de Rivoli %26amp; rue de Temple---just down the block from the HÔTEL de VILLE Metro station. And while Le Bon Marché may not be the least expensive store for ‘equipment / supplies’, it does have a great foods section (including a wide selection of prepared foods) at its Le GRANDE EPICURIE shop.
