A friend Lois thoughtfully recommended Émile Zola's <i>Au Bonheur des Dames {The Ladies' Delight/Paradise}</i> to me when she saw this post. "The novel is set in the world of the department store in the mid-nineteenth century. Zola modeled his store after Le Bon Marché."Shell Sherreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477843748741838608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-37112458445734307482012-02-06T17:41:50.746+10:002012-02-06T17:41:50.746+10:00Thanks, Susan ~ I'm very chuffed.

(And Jeff although your photo was taken from almost the same spot as mine, I hope it wasn't exactly the same as I snapped mine from an open window in the ladies power room!) I love the idea of everyone wearing beautiful B&W clothes to visit Bon Marché - and I adore my outfit -- thank you! And although I would very much like to say I was wandering around Paris with Hugh, alas I wasn't. But a girl can dream, and stepping into this perfect Paris is a great start!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017577882203582185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-46458243764361157382012-02-05T03:06:29.658+10:002012-02-05T03:06:29.658+10:00Shell, I neglected to mention that the smelling sa...Shell, I neglected to mention that the smelling salts joke made me laugh so hard John had to ask me what was going on.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-89427966159180777582012-02-04T23:05:36.505+10:002012-02-04T23:05:36.505+10:00Shell, I wonder if you were standing next to me wh...Shell, I wonder if you were standing next to me when I took this picture?<br />http://toutparis.blogspot.com/2010/10/paris-bon-marche.htmlc'est Jeff icihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756888309730392872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-71366896385081688072012-02-04T21:42:06.946+10:002012-02-04T21:42:06.946+10:00What an interesting post!
