I always go here to get my Paris candle as it is next to a friend's home. This time a new vendor,…read morebig, darker skin lady, as soon as I came in, she agressively asked how can I help you, and I immediately said Paris candle. Then I was with my friend about to look around to see what she would want as her birthday gift. The "new vendor" had no manner at all, rushing us to pay. I was surprised to be treated as if I were in a Boulangerie. Maybe she is more suited to work at McDonalds. It is wrong for them to hire this person. She was rude and uneducated. I found 2 other items to purchase as a gift and she was reluctant to wrap it. When I got out I noticed she did not even asked if I wanted any samples, which they usually offer. I spent about 400Eur for stupid candles and there was nothing nice as a service. Truly dissapointing.

The building is REALLY big and kind of loud in decor. They sell a wide variety of items, mostly for arts and crafts. For Americans, think of it like a really big, expanded Michael's. I found a bunch of super cool cards and postcards there (I can never help myself... I love cards). And then as I went up floor after floor, I found the most stunning displays of paints, colored pencils, markers, canvases, etc. I didn't immediately locate the stairwell and instead rode up in the elevator. Don't do that... it's covered in graffiti and kind of nasty. Take the steps. But I had a great time poking around in this store and totally am happy I stumbled upon it during my adventuring!
