Three vegan shops open in Paris area
Organic foods shop Naturalia has opened three branches in Paris that are 100% vegan.

The shops, in the 11th and 17th arrondissements and in Vincennes, will have zero animal products.
Shops will have just 2,000 products, all organic, including milk-free cheese and a preparation for omelette without eggs.
The move is a sign of an opening up of the market which was previously limited to just a few independent shops and websites.
