- Le Bon Marché
- was the first department store in
- Paris
- built by Gustave Eiffel in 1852.
My daughter and I spent a couple of hours
there on one of our day trips up to Paris.
It's established, feeling like it has been there forever
the best of everything is on display and available.
The urge to shop was strong...
however I was careful to keep my head
and not let my itchy fingers near my credit card!
The escalators in the centre
of the building were magnificent.
I can imagine children playing on them for hours
however store detectives would probably
curb that type of activity poste haste!
I was fascinated by the perfumery
and was clicking away with my camera
when an assistant came over and
told me cameras were not allowed.......
I bought a few little items for gifts to take home
from the grocery section - La Grande Épicerie
in the next building.
I'm joining Mary for Mosaic Monday
Take care of one another
Merci à bientôt
Shane
