Le Bon Marche, Paris, France

Local native French sometimes say "Right Bank" and "Left Bank". Right bank means south of Seine River (i.e. St Germains/University area) and Left bank is north (i.e. Opera/Louvre/Champs Elysees). The Right Bank is quite touristic and foreign, especially with those busy big department stores as Lafayette and Print Temps. So I went to try this department store Bon Marche on the Left Bank. It's indeed less crowded and in harmony. Bon Marche means good market. The store has some designers' brands which can't be found in Lafayette. So it's a good alternative to try something new.
