You know you’re headed for upscale shopping when you pass sizzling Ferraris and chauffeur driven Mercedes-Benzes outside of Paris’ luxury department store the Bon Marché. The world’s jetset flock to the five floors of this haven – the world’s first true department story – for everything from stockings to Panama hats. This is the place to choose a new fragrance, try on Stella McCartney’s latest design, furnish your home, and stock your kitchen. With its turn-of-the-century dome and elegant iron-draped balconies, this light-infused monument has been referred to as a “cathedral to commerce.”  If shopping loses its luster, you can head to an in-store gourmet café or take a break at one of the art installations featured throughout the year. La Grande Épicerie is the city’s premier market, with picture-perfect displays of gleaming fish, exotic fruits, and gourmet delicacies from across the globe making this the ideal place to end your visit. Pick up picnic supplies or savor a delectable pastry before returning to the streets of Paris.
