Visiting Geneva and Paris - where can I buy MREs in either?

I'll have a week in both cities, so does anyone know any stores/flea markets to visit for CH and FR MRE's? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'll answer my own question should anyone else want to find French RCIR's.

There is a flea market in North Paris called Les Puces de Saint-Ouen. (The Fleas of Saint Ouen). This is much like a US flea market, except the most of the stalls are the storefronts on the streets of the Saint Ouen neighborhood. One particular street has 4 different surplus stores, selling European & US authentic gear and knock off/aftermarket US gear. One vendor in particular was selling 8 menus of 2014/2015 RCIRs for 15 Euro each. The owner spoke great English, and easily let me haggle him to 2 RCIR's for 25Euro. I'll post pics and a cuisine review in the next couple of days. Truthfully was very easy to find them, just had to be in the right place.
