La Grande Epicerie de Paris Rive Gauche, Paris

This was a must in our visit to Paris. While many of the items can be found in other stores, having a cheese monger, fish monger, and butcher under one room was great. While they deliver locally, you can’t shop and have it delivered to your home address…even within the EU. I was told there was an online shop but there’s nothing quite like seeing the items in store. Be sure to stop by the pastry case to enjoy a treat before you start to shop. The upper floors have home goods for sale with some big ticket items.

This store is absolutely breathtaking. I felt like I was shopping in a high end designer clothing store. There are plenty of unique items to choose from. They have international selections from around the world, as well as a plethora of delicious French items. Everything was fresh, well presented and meticulously organized. We grabbed culinary gifts for our return trip back to the states and items for a quick picnic on the river. This establishment is truly a must see in Paris!
