Food shopping on/near Ile St Louis

I%26#39;d like to have marked on my map the locations for the closest Monoprix and other good stores to purchase food items during my stay at an apartment on Ile St Louis. Thanks!

There are 2 grocery stores on St. Antoine (near the St. Paul metro). If you walk farther (toward the Bastille), there is a monoprix. On the L bank just at the start of rue St. Germaine thee is a Picard which is good for frozen food. On the island itself there are 2 very good bakeries, cheese stores, a famous butcher ect. I buy my staples %26quot;off island%26quot; but the other things locally.

As Vintagebabe notes, there are many resources right on the island (including a very good produce shop on rue des Deux Ponts (the cross street in the center of the island), a Nicolas wine store, etc. I have found the small grocery store that%26#39;s toward the Notre Dame end on the main street (probably second block in) to be sufficient for most purposes (and it has surprisingly good produce, which is convenient when the other store is closed). It%26#39;s probably a little more than Franprix, etc., but for such a short stay I usually uopted for the convenience of being able to just pick things up and walk a block or two back to the apartment.

Thanks very much for your replies, and the locations of these stores. I will be arriving on a Sunday afternoon. Are any of these stores likely to be open so that I can get some supplies right away?

I know that the bakery on deux ponts is open. There are a number of stores open on rue St. Antoine.

Thanks. I will head out the afternoon of my arrival, in my jet-lagged stuporous state, toward the rue St. Antoine!
