This must be one of the most incredible shopping venues in all of Paris. The Grand Epicerie is extensive with places to eat, snack, drink, and indulge. Next is the fresh food market with so many sections that it can be overwhelming. I went looking for a few specific Christmas needs: beef, spices, small epicurian gifts, which I found easily...but I also came home with some baking kits/mixes which were super fun for the holidays. And after wandering for a while, I know I can find all things gourmet, different, from the UK, Italy, Spain, (etc) for fresh veggies, fish, meats, spices, pastries, wine, candy, chocolate, oh my goodness, the list goes on... Well worth a trip here whether you need groceries or you just want to have lunch or meet a friend for
a coffee. Next time, maybe I'll visit the other floors. Lol

We love aquariums and PARIS is beautiful. I have always loved jellyfish, and I had no idea there were so many tanks with them here. What a delightful surprise. I also enjoyed seeing many different coral, starfish, including tiny ones, a few sharks, beautifully colored fish and some things I'd never seen before. Really a great visit. It was crowded but I never felt like I had to wait too long to get a closeup view. An interesting benefit to going to the aquarium? Out front, it has a great view of the Eiffel Tower without any crowds. Highly enjoyable hour and a half. Great for families of all ages.
