Today, let Skyscanner take you on a journey to explore it! 🍌A Century of History, Crafting a Parisian Legend The glorious history of this department store dates back to 1852, when it was founded by Aristide Boucicaut. It was born during the Second French Empire, as part of Paris's large-scale urban transformation. At that time, Paris's streets, buildings, sewage systems, and other infrastructure underwent modernization, and Le Bon Marché became a symbol of this era. 🍌As the world's first department store, it differed from traditional small shops by innovatively centralizing a variety of goods in a spacious and luxurious shopping space, attracting women from Paris's high society to shop there. This unprecedented shopping experience was vividly depicted in French author Émile Zola's novel The Ladies' Paradise (Au Bonheur des Dames). 🍌The Birth of La Grande Epicerie de Paris In 1923, Le Bon Marché decided to innovate by adding a food section. Post-war Paris was eager for new experiences, and the department store carefully selected specialty foods from across France and its colonies. Exotic fruits, spices, and other products became a sensation among Parisians. Later, they launched themed food exhibitions, such as British and Italian cuisines, each time creating a culinary feast that became a hotspot for high society. This laid the foundation for La Grande Epicerie de Paris as we know it today. #France #FrenchLife #Paris #tgtg #tgtgParis #tgtgBlindBox #TooGoodToGo
