- Thomas VOakland, California17,780 contributionsClassic Department StoreIt's a great department store in the old fashioned style from the 19th Century. In modern times, it is a great place to buy stuff. I love the food market on the first floor for my groceries, plus some food gifts, and some exotic stuff. The store faces a beautiful square and green space.Visited December 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten January 25, 2024

There's also a book shop and toy store on the upper level. Easy to navigate visa escalator and something for everyone here.Visited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 11, 2024
- JuroraPeterborough, Canada603 contributionsVisited here early May 2023.My hubby and I were walking around different areas of Paris, and decided to come to this department store. We didn't realize it was going to be a very high-end store, so we basically walked thru, browsing at some items. The store areas are very nice, but we felt a bit awkward as all staff just stared at us as we walked along. Would have rated that average, but it is a lovely store. Reminded us of Holt Renfrew in Toronto, with all the high-end designer boutique shops in one large department store.Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten May 6, 2024

Le Bon Marche Rive Gauche would be more of a curiosity than anything else to the casual tourist, as it was to us. It is an amazing store and the goods on sale are obviously high quality, but many would find some of the prices a bit out of reach. You would most probably find almost everything in other department stores, and may be at a little more reasonable prices. Worth a walk through to get over it!

I live near by Le Bon Marche and I go there shopping very often.
I have seen their service worsening step by step but today’s experience was overwhelming. The most rude condescending saleswoman at the Vanessa Bruno, rolling her eyes because I didn’t know EXACTLY the very precise model I wanted to buy.I decided to leave and there she had an epiphany and started showing me the TWO different types of the gray big cabas Vanessa Bruno. She even called the head of the département to defend her.
Horrible place horrible person.

This is a wonderful department store, almost two stores in fact as La Grande Epicerie, which sells food, is right across the road. The food selection at La Grande Epicerie is fantastic, with fresh produce, meat, baked goods, and a large range of dry and canned goods. If you like food shopping as I do, you can easily spend quite a bit of time wandering around the aisles.
Le Bon Marche is a large department store with all the goods you’d expect, but what impressed me the most was the fashion. It was early winter when I visited and if my suitcase and luggage allowance had been big enough, I could have bought a whole new winter wardrobe. I was particularly enamoured with the range of coats. I will definitely be returning.

I went to Le Bon Marche based on their reputation and my particular retail needs that day. I went to a particular designer but had to wait for their representative for about 15 minutes because she was in a meeting. When I met her, I requested a fitting for a particular garment. She acted as if she had no idea what a fitting was; told me to pick out what I liked; showed me to a dressing room and I never saw her again. I waited for several minutes in the dressing room to see if she’d return to assist me - she did not. I left the fitting rooms and returned to her counter and waited a few minutes more. She’d vanished. She was absolutely worthless so I took the few hundred euros I’d allotted for this shopping trip and went elsewhere. I’ll never go back to that store again.

We came to buy roast beef on Thursday February 22. The next day, when cut for cooking, the inside was greenish. We put it in the trash for safety. 41 euros thrown away….
Never again…..

A high end department store with lots of well known and lesser known brands.
It has everything that one can want under one floor including homeware, books, clothes, gifts and perfume.
It is across the road from la grande épicerie which is also well worth exploring, as it’s all food based.

I went there because I heard they would vacuum pack butter.
When I asked the cashier if I wanted it vacuum packed, they said 1€ each and cashed out.
They advertised that they would vacuum pack it, and even though I paid 1€ per vacuum pack,
they did it.
Cheese counter → NO!! ️
Meat counter → NO!! ️
Front wrapping counter → NO!! ️
Huh? Is it okay to say NO?
Is it okay to take money and say NO?
The boss also said NO!! ️
He was busy so it was not okay.
Then I thought they should not have said they would vacuum pack it and not take money.
The attendant was a nice person so I felt sorry for them so I gave up.
They refunded the vacuum packing fee, but
I will never go again.
To Japanese people living in Paris,
I should have gone to Galeries Lafayette.
I made a mistake, it was near the hotel.
If you want to vacuum pack butter in Paris,
Le Bon Marche department store is dangerous.
Next time I will go to Galeries Lafayette

This mall could be reached by the green metro line at the stop Severs Babylon. Its a fancy department store like the ones at Haussmann bit smaller but much less crowded giving the genuine shoppers the opportunity to buy in a more relaxed environment with better attention from salespersons. Overall recommended

If I purchase cosmetics at the Dior or Chanel stand, will they come in the brand shopping bag? Or will it come in the department store bag like “Macys” on it?
Otherwise I will go buy at Rue Cambon

Bonjour,
Etant de visite à Paris dans 2mois, j'ai commencé à faire des recherches sur des lieux à visiter.
Après quelques recherches je suis tombée sur Le Bon Marché.
Je me demande, est-ce un bon endroit à visiter ?
Des habitués ou des connaisseurs pourraient-il me renseigner sur ce lieu ?
Merci de votre aide.

Pas de question à se poser, c'est pratiquement un des plus beaux sinon le plus beau des grands magasins de Paris.
C'est pratiquement déjà un musée d'art contemporain : vous bénéficiez de la collection des oeuvre de son propriétaire Bernard Arnaud qui en plus, intègre des performances d'artistes. Le top en matière d'art contemporain.
Et vous avez la grande épicerie qui en soit est une découverte à elle toute seule, avec ses célèbres décorations murales.
Des restaurants partout dont celui que je préfère : Rose Bakery, une des meilleurs Bio de Paris.
Allez y les yeux fermés, plaisir du beau garanti !
