One of the great pleasures of our trip to Paris. We must have stopped here every single day…read more Aside from the delicious wares (esp. the foie pate), the pleasure of watching the friendly and uniformly gorgeous guys behind the counter made my day. They're constantly moving with an incredible amount of energy - I have no idea how they possible manage to make it through the day! Buy some bread at the boulangerie next door and you're perfectly set for a lunch, breakfast or dinner.

Multi-level supermarket, department store, gift shop, liquor store, winery shop, bakery, cafe, meat…read moreshop, cheese shop, and duty-free shop for EVERYTHING French!! Clean, organized, chic, and very chill vibe. Totally overwhelmed by what is available, and it makes you think you should rent an apartment in Paris, shop here for cooking meals back at home, and not visit restaurants. Name it, they have it! Fruits, veggies, pastas, foie gras, rigglits, duck confit, meats, cheeses, confectioneries, canned goods, breads, wines, spirits, cookies, butter, creams, and the list goes on and on! Name an item, and there were at least 20 variations or varieties of that item! Brought back a suitcase of stuff! Was shopping for over 4 hours! Had coffee and lunch with wine while shopping. The experience was reminiscent of shopping at the huge Macy's department store on 5th Avenue in New York City, thanks to the dining options available while shopping. Must visit before departing the country.

Shall I compare thee to a California's Erewhon?…read more Y'all know I can be wowed by a fabulous grocery store. This one is surely opulent, but crowded out the wazoo. The North American section made me giggle. I grabbed some fancy French mustards and cookies to bring home for friends and family. Unsure if any locals actually come here or if it's ALL tourists. The layout was extremely confusing to me. Now, I'm sure there are some simply fantastic elements to this store that evaded me due to the sea of people inside. But, I think Erewhon had more going for it. Artistic, clean, bountiful displays of produce. More organization, better lighting, etc. I felt like I could actually see the products at Erewhon, whereas here I was fighting with a lot of noise.
