Agree with all of the comments about skipping stereo stores - My two favorite places are Ste Chappelle and the Rodin museum. The outside grounds of the Rodin museum are a fabulous place to regenerate after being a bit footsore.
I do need to add that one year I was in Toulouse, and had spent most of the day sightseeing. I was tired of walking around, and walked by a high end store. I walked in and in terribly fractured French said that I was an American audiophile - they signaled me downstairs to a wonderful set-up All French companies I didn't recognize (this was in the late 90s). They gave me a pile of CDs and went back upstairs. I had a delightful couple of hours listening and relaxing. At the end, I thanked my hosts, tried to describe what I thought of the set up (again failing rather miserably), and left with a pile of literature they offered.
I have always been treated extremely well wherever I traveled in France. Please just remember to bring out your French language, even if it is quite awful.
