It is rainy with dark gray skies here today, so not ideal for photo-taking. So, I thought I would share one of my all-time favorite Parisian shops, La Grande Epicerie at Bon Marche.
Le Bon Marche ("the good market") is one of the best known department stores in Paris. And, while I love to look at all the latest designer fashions and accessories, my favorite department in Bon Marche is this massive gourmet food emporium. If you love cooking or baking (or just eating!), you need to put this place on your bucket list.
This is where I purchased those incredible French sprinkles that I wrote about the other day.
They have an extensive and incredible selection of beautiful candy, unusual baking supplies, and the prettiest sugars you will ever see.
They also carry lots of items I have never seen here in the States. Like this fabulous Violette beverage...
Yes, you know I brought one of those back! And these pretty syrups...
And colorful cookies!
I found so many pretty things at La Grande Epicerie (as is evidenced by that first shot of my quickly filling shopping basket). It is definitely a shop worth visiting!
XOXO
