The adaptive nature of a city like Paris can be felt everywhere, every day. Just last year L’Auditorium Parisien, a HiFi store that has been part of the heart of the bohemian Marais neighborhood since 1996, became part of our French distributor, PPL’s, network of retailers. 

Conveniently located just 100 meters from the Chemin Vert subway station on Boulevard Beaumarchais, among dozens of highly respected high-end shops or boutiques, as the French would call them, L’Auditorium Parisien is a two-story establishment that houses several demo rooms with a huge assortment of equipment for all tastes and budgets. 

The listening rooms are top notch. While they have been recently renovated, they kept a classic French style and feel to them. Everything is meticulously organized and labeled for their customers, so all you have to do is sit back and focus on enjoying the musical experience, be it 2 or multi channel.

Nordost is prominently featured in the store and Didier and Cyrille are extremely well prepared to make recommendations, answer your questions, and provide great insight into what Nordost products are all about and how they can help your personal system reach new levels. 

Listening to your home set up is great, but there is something special about going out to visit a store like this and having the opportunity to listen directly, not just to our cables and accessories, but to the system as a whole, and appreciate how Nordost products elevate so many different systems and combinations of equipment. So, next time you happen to spend a few days in Paris, do not miss the opportunity to have a very enjoyable experience and have a good time or, as they say over there, prends du bon temps.
