At the corner of Rue de Sèvres and Rue du Bac, deep in the heart of the 7th arrondissement of Paris stands proud a four-floor department store dedicated to food. An impressive concentration of delicacies and raw materials from around the globe, and foodies are sure to spend endless hours there, not wanting to leave.
Many years ago, any cooking enthusiast who visited Paris, couldn’t miss out on a visit to the legendary Fauchon deli at Place Madeleine. But times have changed and if you’re looking for a mega-deli in Paris, you will find yourself, sooner rather than later, in the crazy 4-floor mega-boutique-gourmet-deli, La Grande Epicerie de Paris, masterminded by Le Bon March. Anything you can imagine you will find, chocolates, confitures, cakes, cookies, sweets, hundreds of teas, cheeses, butters, wall-to-wall salts, sugars, oils, vinegars, cooking mixtures mustards, spices, truffle products, fresh meats, fish and seafood, veggies, soups, canned foods, raw materials and special and rare products, anything you can possibly think of, you are bound to find in one of the four floors of this boutique supermarket. An entire floor is dedicated to wine and alcohol, on another floor you’ll find all the cookware and serving utensils you could need, and another floor caters to things for the house. When you get a little tired from walking around in this fairyland of choice, take a break in the store’s lovely bistro.
Mark this spot on your map for your next visit to Paris, and set aside at least two hours for aimless wandering. If you’re a foodie, and chances are that you are one if you’re reading this, you will probably want more than two hours…
