I avoided coming here for years, as I kept renting furnished apartments, but I finally moved into my own unfurnished apartment and needed to make the "pilgrimage" up here. The store is very well laid out, in a logical order. There's always helpful staff nearby and if you're there long enough, you can probably get a bite to eat in the cantine. You can also arrange for same day delivery, curbside for only around 50€. Shuttles available from Bastille on Wednesday and the weekends: https://m.ikea.com/fr/fr/stores/villiers/campaigns/8x1DBTL156/ read more

There is wine in the cafeteria. For 3,50€ a half bottle. Drink wine. Peruse Ikea. Need I say more? Other than that, it's your typical Ikea. I may like this one a bit more than the one by Roissy, though. But really, they are all the same. I wish that they kept their food open all day like they do in the US. As per typical French custom, the kitchen was closed from 3-6. So I didn't get to have the vegetarian Swedish meatballs. And there is no all you can eat soup. America really wins in the buffet competition. But, France wins drinking. Wine. At Ikea. Repeat. Wine. At Ikea. Genius. read more
