Le Bon Marché is Paris' most elegant department store, fantastic for fashion, cosmetics and interior design items, but also due to its great international food hall. Dating back to 1838, it was the first ever modern department store. The building is worth a visit in its own right. Relax in the vast upper floor bookstore or in the exquisite restaurant, or again their coffee shop.
