Shopping in Paris #1

Shopping in Paris is often a fun experience.  

Recently, Susan was shopping for a gift for a dear friend.  The gift was fine tea from the purveyor Mariage Frères, established in 1854.

We found a Mariage Frères shop nearby, in a luxury shopping mall under the Louvre.  Walking into the shop was like stepping back in time a 100+ years.  Check out the photo below.

One of the very polite clerks helped Susan select a fine tea (Marco Polo) and then lovingly wrapped the package.  In many shops in Paris, carefully wrapping and bagging the purchase is a BIG deal.  They know how to do it right.  

Below, Susan is very happy with her purchase.    

Thanks for shopping with us.
