    Merci is a 3 floor boutique store with a coffee shop in the front, household items on the bottom floor, assorted items on the main floor, and clothing and jewelry on the top floor. At the entrance, they have a lovely scenery/greenery with their signature "Merci" car, which is usually red but did see in pics that they change it out time to time to a pink car. This place is good for a coffee break and for photo ops as well as their famous merci bracelets.

    I don't know how to describe Merci but will attempt to refer to it as a stylish, laidback, retro, swank, shop selling a unique and curious variety of furniture, kitchen and home goods, furniture, clothing and accessories, housing two cafes and something always going in with their petite auto in their entrance courtyard. It's a busy spot and fun browse if you're in the area. I am of the impression from local friends that their profits are applied to various charitable causes.

    Quaint, homey, nice ambience. Service is friendly and fast. Would love to have stayed longer but customers were waiting for tables. Attached to the store so you can browse after eating. Lots of good stuff. They also have another wing for lunch.

    Love this beautiful concept store. The fun atmosphere and the people who work there. Every time I'm in Paris, I come here for a quick gift shopping for friends back home and grab coffee at their library cafe.

    When it comes to concepts, Parisians sure know how to execute one well. What caught my attention before visiting Merci were countless pictures taken of their adorable old school fiat placed within their courtyard via Instagram. So it was during my recent visit to Paris that I decided to see what the hype was all about. This cool concept store and cafe is nestled away in Paris' historic quarter of Upper Marais district and attracts everyone from locals to students and fashionistas. So whether you are someone with a small budget or large project, you are bound to find something! My most favorite part of this concept was Merci's Used Book Cafe. For me there is almost no better feeling than being surrounded by thousands of books and a cup of coffee. This little oasis is a perfect place for a rendez-vous alone or with a friend. Booking is not necessary so feel free to walk in within their welcoming and open atmosphere!

    Great little cafe in the front!

    Four stars for the cafe, two stars for the rest of the store. I was a little underwhelmed by the merchandise here. Some pretty nice stuff to look at, but not anywhere near worth the markup. And let's not even get started on those salvaged metal letters going for hundreds of euros. Those were crazy overpriced, even by Paris standards. But the cafe more than makes up for any shortcomings in the shop. The lentil salad was one of the best things I ate in Paris, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. I did also find a nice little Merci-branded sketchbook with pretty much perfect paper, so it's not like the place was completely unreasonable. Even if you don't buy anything, it's still worth coming here for a look around and a bite to eat.

    It's such a great concept store, with the cafe on the main floor. There's definitely something for everyone here. The cafe is a library and is filled with walls of books. The tall windows open to a beautiful courtyard. Food is excellent, my portion was large, and I left full after. My bagel was definitely fresh. I would come back the next time I'm around

    Legendary concept store with the most beautiful clothes, great products (all have a story), a lot of space, friendly people and a nice ambiance. We also have lunch at the brasserie next door. The fresh pressed juices are amaze, I have had the juice with ginger, apple and kiwi and it was really delicious. The salads and the bar looks good and even taste good. The service was a little bit slow and showing not many interest or enthusiasm. But over all, we were surprised. The entrance of the Concept Store is amazing, playing hide and seek with the noise of the streets.

    If Merci would not be such an expensive place. I would definitely rate it a 5 stars! This place's beauty reaches the 5 for sure. Even though this concept store warehouse is located on such a big and busy street it is quite hidden, well quite easy to oversee. The main entrance of the shop is hidden away in this little courtyard, where the much-photographed Merci car is also located, together which a sea of plants. Inside it is so much bigger than you would expect. To rent this place must cost a fortune in expensive Paris! That must be why all the items for sale here are costing you a small fortune as well. So for me, Merci is more like a museum. I come here to admire all the beautiful stuff (homewares, decorations, fashion) and dream of this and think of that I need a good job haha. It did manage to find a very cool and reasonable priced lamp that I bought instantly. Merci is also very nice to visit for their used book café. This is like a library where you can have a nice coffee and cake. It is very charming.

    Beautiful restaurant on the bottom floor of a little building where you can buy all kinds of cool clothing, furniture, hardware and kitchen stuff. It had fresh salads and green juices which was a refreshing change from all the heavy French food. I also saw wine and other dishes on the menu but decided on the daily menu deal where you could choose three items from a salad bar. I had a really nice pumpkin soup, lentil and endive salad and little chicken patties. Definitely worth the wait!

    Oh what fun! Follow this store on Instagram and you'll see what I mean. Great place to buy gifts as there is something for everyone. Slightly overpriced on some things but worth a visit no matter what your budget. There is a restaurant too, but didn't get there. The attached used bookstore is a phenomenal place to read, write or just take a rest with a coffee or glass of wine. Charming nook I could spend the whole day people watching out the window or on the sidewalk seating.

    This was such a cool store! 3 floors of gifts, jewelry, clothing, housewares, art, etc. It was a beautiful layout and had lots of space for browsing and lounging. I liked that it wasn't so *packed* full of merchandise that it was overwhelming. Two adorable cafes are right outside, and there's a juice bar right by the entrance. Awesome place for browsing or picking up unique & thoughtful gifts. They also had a fabulous (and expensive) leather shoe collection.

    Galleries Lafayette is a department store on steroids and a shopper's paradise, offering mid-range…read moreand higher end products. Their merchandise is extremely diverse, comprising just about anything you want across three buildings. The main building, where you'll find women's fashions, accessories, cosmetics, eyeglasses (including an optometrist), sportswear, children's wear, is topped with a must-see art glass dome, complete with a glass cat walk (maybe on the 4th floor?) that enables up close viewing of the dome from the inside. There are restaurants, rest rooms, and sweets shops in this building, too. Menswear has a building all to itself, as does the food court. Be careful here. There are so many delicious and appetizing foods offered in the food court building that you'll be tempted to overstuff. It would be just too easy to spend an entire day shopping at Galleries Lafayette.

At the entrance all the well known brands for bags and clothing. The area for Moynart Labubu was doing brisk business. A Labubu bag I looked at was 2300 euros!!! Soooo many stuff here. We went to the 6th floor to get souvenirs, cookies, and gifts to bring home. Our suitcases will be packed full. Great service, friendly staff. No pictures, the store was too crowded and I didn't want to get in trouble for taking pictures with no permission.

Jamie W and I made it a priority to visit Galeries Lafayette because of the famous Art Nouveau dome, which was indeed fabulous (review: https://yelp.to/XRXnKANd7b). We decided to visit Printemps as part of our rainy day itinerary because we figured it would be a good chunk of time where we could stay dry indoors. We were right, and the store was less crowded and easier to navigate than its direct competitor. We found ourselves at the charming Cafe Perche on the 7th floor, where we relaxed over rich 6,50€ Chocolate Chauds and delicious butter cookies (Photo 8). Afterward, we found ourselves on two different rooftop terraces, the first was a more contained space that provided immediate views of the area as well as the architectural detail. The second space was actually an entryway to a nice-looking restaurant (Le Picnic) but still provided glorious panoramic views for freeloaders like us. One floor down was an upscale food hall. Printemos has its own Art Deco-style dome, but it doesn't have the grandeur of Galeries Lafayette (Photo 5). However, if you are a serious shopper of luxury goods, I'd come here first to avoid the tourist stampede down the boulevard. RELATED - Exploring Paris?
