An enormous two floor department store offering several French clothing lines including international major brand cosmetics. The wife purchased Revlon pink lipstick for 12.90 Euros. Now that she was happy we further browsed the store and I heard a piano playing in the distance and walked toward the sounds. A man (I think was a customer) was playing the classic black piano while other patrons were sitting at small tables listening. Near the piano lounge, there was a full service bakery where we purchased several fresh pastries, which we immediately ate. This type of department store you just dont find in America. The only negative was there were no bathrooms on the property. The security guard advised the bathroom was in the McDonalds restaurant next door - this seemed very odd. read more

Je vous écris car j'ai travaillé pendant un an chez vous, et je souhaite informer les clients de ce qui se passe réellement chez Monoprix. Pour commencer, le directeur ne respecte pas ses employés : il nous parle mal et nous prend de haut. Monoprix ne respecte pas la chaîne du froid. Lorsque vous laissez vos articles aux caisses automatiques, ils restent plusieurs heures avant d'être remis au frais. Un jour, on m'a demandé de remettre un saumon qui était resté tout l'après-midi avec moi aux caisses automatiques ; il était devenu tout chaud. De plus, des rats et des souris se promènent sous les caisses : j'ai déjà vu des rats morts dans les caisses, et il y a également des cafards présents partout, environ un par jour. Les gâteaux de la boulangerie ne sont pas faits chaque jour, et parfois ils sont tout durs après avoir passé la nuit dans la vitrine, exposés aux rats. Enfin, vos commentaires sont ignorés : nous passons notre temps à nous moquer des clients quand ils se plaignent. Nous faisons semblant de prendre leurs remarques au sérieux, mais dès qu'ils partent, nous rigolons d'eux. En plus, les clients sont souvent considérés comme des voleurs, et nous les surveillons constamment avec méfiance, même lorsqu'ils n'ont rien fait de suspect. Je précise aussi que le givre qui est présent dans les congélateurs est lié à la décongélation puis à la recongélation, car les frigos et congélateurs tombent régulièrement en panne, et que pour des raisons financières, le magasin ne jette rien. Merci de me répondre, mon cher Fabrice Directeur de ce magasin . read more

My absolute favorite thing to do whilst abroad is to check out the supermarkets. Monoprix is a bit unique since they sell more than food items. They had a section for clothes and other random bits which was pretty cool. I had a blast browsing the snack selection. read more

Monoprix is popular market chain in Paris. Almost every section of this city, you'll find a moniprix not too far away. This one by Montparnasse seems to be a pretty sizable one. This particular store carries food and dry goods as well. Clothes, children's notebooks, pencils, colored markers, cheese and wine. I think they even have cosmetics as well. Like I said, these guys are pretty complete with all that stuff. I do love to come here to shop for some in room dining. When in Paris,, a couple of baguettes, some cold cuts, some cheese,, you have yourself a good supper right there. That and beer or wine,, whatever you prefer. This store has a very good selection of both. Anyways, its always a pleasant experience when I shop here. It's clean, its easy, and its pretty economical. read more

Monoprix - (",) - Grocery Near Me - Paris, 75

A great one stop shop. Upper level offers clothing, cosmetics/ toiletries, limited office supplies, Starbucks and bakery. Lower level kitchen decor, tools, groceries and alcohol. I found the store easy to navigate and I was glad to know if I need undies, sunscreen, champagne, and a cutting board monoprix can hook it up. My favorite part is the bakery on the upper level. Purchased two almond croissants and ended up eating both the same day because they were so amazing. read more

If I could, I would give not even one star. Absolutely horrible. However, finding good service in France is almost impossible, unless you go to the very expensive and touristic places because France wants to keep its hypocritical image with rich foreigners and tourists. BUT HERE'S WHY I GIVE SUCH A POOR REVIEW TO MONOPRIX: This is the letter I wrote to Monoprix Customer service today: " Dear Sirs: I went to a Monoprix store in the 18th arrondissement to buy food. I just arrived at the automatic self-paying machine, when one of the employees servicing the area upon request, came towards me, and without a word started to take my things from my cart and put them in front of the scan. I didn't call for her, didn't need to. I am a computer builder and expert, and I can show them how it works, not the opposite. Then I understood she did this only because either she thought I was too old - I have white hair -, or perhaps she fought I had stolen something only by the way I looked? Now, I am a white woman, very classy, wearing expensive clothes, and I look nothing like a bum. I felt very insulted and told her so. I told her in English that if this happened in America, I could sue her for discrimination and moral distress. I saw that my speaking English to her made her even more nasty. This is the second time they did this to me in one year in this chain store. It seems it is getting worse when you speak English. Also, when they have many people, they rush me as if I were "a bag of potatoes" taking too much space. They leave the young men and women alone, even when they know nothing about these machines, and they leave the thieves alone, and people of all kind of ethnicity alone. But a person like me, a white woman, very distinguished, proud, very well dressed, speaking English, they subject to harassment and disgusting discrimination. Because I complained and showed my anger they took their revenge by calling the guard upstairs where I have to go to exit the store, and he subjected me to even more humiliation, by forcing me to step aside and check my food cart as if I was a common thief. Very tired and in a deep state of suffocation by these emotions they inflicted upon me freely, for no reason, I said I will return the goods right away. They reimbursed me and I went back home trembling all over. So I stayed the whole week-end with no food. Unfortunately for me, this is the only store close by that carries some of the things I like. When I can, I go to other places but they are farther away. I usually prefer individual stores, especially for vegetable, fruits, meat and fish. But in August I fell from a 2.20 m. ladder, and my back hurt tremendously (I hurt my spine). So I have no choice, for the moment, than to go to this store for food. Now I am afraid to go. I am afraid of harassment again. This is something I will give to the American and other international news regarding the way your employees - perhaps it is a trait that comes with France? - treat people who look more fragile and give all permission to stronger men and women." I let you all judge of the kind of welcome from stores we receive in France, when it is thanks to their customers that they keep their business open. But of course, there is no competition in France, and the government provides subventions to these companies, they cannot fire bad employees, and voila ! You have the res read more

A great supermarket, definitely the one to go to in the area. It is almost like a Wal-Mart and packs everything you need. There is a book store so I could find a Michelin map of Paris. There are clothes, electronics, CDs, beauty, and most pharmacy goods. Most importantly though is downstairs. The supermarket is gigantic and packs everything one could ever want. They stock more than simply French goods, but foreign and other European goods. I could possibly spend a day in there looking over brand after brand. What I ended up gathering though, butter (which is basically edible by itself in France), creme fraiche (a better version of sour cream), fresh baguette, eggs (which have richer colored yolks), fresh goat cheese, and tomatoes (which pack so much more flavor and sweetness). French produce outclasses American produce by so much. read more

Great find on a random walk around Montparnasse. This store is bigger than it looks...there's 2 stories! Top floor houses clothing/accessories/shoes/boulangerie/toiletries/checkout, while the lower level houses the groceries and random home goods. Walked away with 2 shirts for the hubby (great European fit) a blouse for moi, truffle oil, fleur de sel, madelines, balsamic vinegar, water, and random European chocolates. They also carry a limited selection of Fauchon goods...which are cheaper than the goods at the actual Fauchon (not sure why???) This Monoprix is equivalent to a higher end Target in the states...really glad we walked into this place to pick up water and a whole lot more! read more

A good place if you need to work and want some food or drinks. The store also has lots of different varieties of items from stationery to clothing. read more

While it's compared to Target in the USA, I felt the prices at the Monoprix were way more expensive. I did buy some clothes and makeup, but NOT at Target or Walmart prices. But it is Paris, I suppose. I went into many Monoprix, all around the city, and some are way better than others. This one is really nice and big. I don't like how the supermarket sections are connected to the rest of the store, because the smell is really rancid. I don't know if it's all the cheeses or cured meats, or what...but most of the Monoprix I went into smelled like this. A fun store to look around, although most of them do not carry pharmacy items, like cold medicine. You will have to go to a Pharmacie for that. If you're in Paris, and need some cheap clothes (relatively cheap, compared to other dept stores in Paris), or toiletries, come here! read more

A French store that has everything you would expect at a Target store but with € prices. They have super cute womens clothes, adorable childrens clothes, tons of skincare and a healthy booze selection. The produce section is lovely and I had some of the best strawberries I've ever tasted. Most of the clerks and sales staff speak a bit of English. read more

This is the Target equivalent in Paris. We came here to get French made soaps, cosmetics, and a few French made gifts relatively inexpensively. This is a big place with a lot of selections. This would be a place I would have frequent if I live here. read more

I'm pretty sure the Monoprix carries everything you could ever want, all at good prices. And this location was one of the biggest and cleanest that we saw. It's also conveniently located near two subway stops. I think reviewers that have compared it to a Target are right on track. read more

Rented an apt in the area and shopped here numerous times for our groceries. Excellent selection in every department and great quality at good prices. Fromagerie selection as extensive as any of the independently owned Fromageries and a very helpful staff member that was happy to help select some cheeses to your tastes and needs. read more

You can get just about everything here! Clothing, toiletries, food, everything! It can get pricey, but they do put things on sale.
