It was a cool experience to see the place for Julia child shopped. Store opened in 1820. It is…read moresmall with narrow aisles, but filled with all of the cooking supplies you could ever need. It is still definitely a store for chefs and people in the food, industry rather than tourist. More tourist are going to the shop, but it doesn't really accommodate a lot of people. My daughter actually went to purchase some cooking supplies. Each piece is marked with a number You then go to a book and look up the number to see the price of the item. The staff were helpful if you ask them questions. I actually went outside after a few minutes because the store was small and crowded. The area around the store was a nice place to and people watch.

Wonderful selection of cookware and bakeware in Paris…read more It's not a far walk from the metro station through some quaint Paris neighborhoods. The store is not huge but has a lot of selection crammed into a modest space. They have products from all over the world and all sorts of items for cooking and baking including pans of all kinds, small appliances, fondant, silicone molds, colorings, and so much more. The staff were friendly, spoke English, and seemed happy to help. It was super hot in the store, though. Check their hours as they close for an hour mid-day on Saturday. We found a few silicone mats (Silpats) for baking macarons, but be warned that the sizes are not exactly the same as those sold in the U.S., so they might not perfectly fit your baking sheets. They had the versions for bread as well (Silpans). Prices seemed quite good compared to prices paid in the U.S. probably since these particular items are made in France. This was definitely a fun place to grab a few baking items!

This place is awesome! They have so much stuff any chef or baker could need. I could have spent a…read morelot longer in the store but was with my family and we were short on time. There were so many molds and tools and everything! I only ended up getting some great pastry bags, a rose mold and a few other small things. If I had more time I would have purchased a knife or two, there are some nice ones. The store is in a perfect location. It's within walking distance from a mall and Notre-dame isn't too far. If or when I'm ever back in Paris I plan on buying a lot more. If you're in to baking or cooking don't skip this place!

I absolutely adore this place and recommend it to my many friends who go to Paris. Looking for…read morethose awesome French knives that you tried in a Bistro but can't remember their name? Well, they're Laguiole, and they have them here on the cheap and you can buy them in sets or individually. Or with the colored handles. Or with the marble handles. Or the cheese knife. Or the smaller cheese knife. How about a whisk? How about a bigger whisk? How about a smaller whisk? Ramekins? White? Colored? A little bigger or smaller? You can find something you totally need, or totally don't need, or something a friend might enjoy, and enjoy doing the shopping at the same time. They packed up my purchases, and knives, securely in paper, and they fit nicely in my suitcase. I think about Paris whenever I open my cabinets now and can't wait to stop by the next time I'm in the Marais. I love this neighborhoody dishery/platery!!!

You can find the same items at much lower prices from stores within minutes walk. My wife and I bought a frying pan at Simon for EUR 32 which is just round the corner.

It had a small food counter, but nothing like the levels you'd see in a typical IKEA. The store felt pretty modern and the staff were friendly enough too. They did have some good value items I would have loved to have bought if I didn't have to carry them all the way back home on the Eurostar the following day. I wish I had that much room in my suitcase. Well worth a look in if you're passing by for sure, but still for anything more than a few showcase or small items and collections, you will have to go elsewhere. 3*
