Costco Massy is easy to get to--just one bus from our hotel. The store feels almost identical to…read moreU.S. Costcos, except for a huge hanging sausage and lots of French pastries. The deli food was disappointing though: dry chicken and overcooked fries. We also learned the hot dog drink isn't unlimited; you scan your receipt once and that's it. Interesting to visit, but not much different from home.

The store is basically like it is in America. The hotdogs are exactly the same, just the way our…read morefamily loves them. They have a large selection of fruits, vegetables, and other food items. They have TVs, computers, silverware, kitchen equipment, and other appliances. The staff was helpful getting toilet paper down for me. I was disappointed the ice machine doesn't work and there were no frozen drinks or dessert. That should never happen at Costco! Otherwise, it's always a great value shopping here.

I don't know why these stores are all listed as "Deca Belle". The name of the label is just Deca. I…read morelove Deca-one of my favorite french labels. Very similar to Cop Copine but with a touch more color. The clothes also come in a wider range of sizes. I've purchased a 6 in the past and that was even a bit big, and when I accidentally wandered into their wholesale showroom in Paris I discovered they go up to a size 7. Not that I've seen a 7 carried *anywhere* but at least we know that the retailers are the jerks in this case and that the designers have included women who wear a larger size. But I digress-the clothes here are a bit on the expensive side, but purchasing them in Paris is cheaper than what you would pay in the US. I went when they were having their winter sale and I bought 5 items for the price you would normally pay for maybe one dress in the States. My husband bought me a coat that was on sale for 100 euros and it is still being sold online on US sites for over $500. And best of all you won't run into anyone else wearing the same clothes-they have quite a unique style. Modern and feminine at the same time.

Everything is amazing in this little shop. When in Paris, you should stop by. The product lines…read more(e.g. Mauviel) was amazing.

Selection is amazing. Kitchen items that are not easy to find in the US. I thought prices were good.read more

There are a lot of clothes on discount and regular price. While the style is plain and I have…read moreenough coats, I did try several pants. Unfortunately either they didn't fit well or they didn't have my size. The front part of the store has newer merchandise and they actually did have some items on sale. I believe it was 30 percent off. While I didn't end up with anything, the young man who helped me was serviceable. Additionally a lady behind the counter helped me find on my map the closest hop on hop off bus stop.

If you love outlet stores and you love Kookai, then this is the store for you. Half of the large…read morespace is a regular store with their current full-priced line and the other half is the stock, or outlet. I made the mistake of going into other stores nearby and trying to shop. I was told the other warehouse-looking stores are for professional buyers only and not for the general public. If you want an interesting diversion, rue Saint-Denis is nearby--the famous street of prostitution. I accidentally detoured down that street once and I have to say I have never seen such an interesting array of prostitutes of all ages (some were grannies), shapes, and sizes!

If you read about Les Halles in Le Ventre de Paris (1873) by Emile Zola you would know of the place…read morewhere fresh food was wholesaled. Perhaps I was crazy to imagine a spectacular view of halls after halls of the fresh seafoods, meats or poultrys. It inspired me so much it sent us on a roadtrip from Belgium at 11 PM, we were running behind for Rungis that opened from 1-5 AM. We reached Rungis Marche International a city on its own at 2 AM. The market was just slowing awakening and alive with fresh food. We drove around these enormous buildings the size of convention centers, it was so confusing we had to consult the site map. The halls opened in cascading fashion 1 hall per hour we were told by the Chefs the seafood hall would open first. When we arrived I was literally speechless at the sheer number of wholesalers proudly displaying their seafood: fresh boxes of sea urchins, scallops on shells, trouts so fresh they were shining and live shrimps still jumping. At the poultry and game hall, fresh chickens/squab/ ducks/ pheasants/ rabbits/ were displayed. The poultry all cleaned except retaining the head and feather around the neck to show its freshness. The cases of foie gras, pates and charcuterie were just mouth wateringly attractive. We ventured into the Triperie where the organs, trotters and other stuff were sold. It was quite amazing to see the standard of hygiene and lack of foul smell you would imagine from a place as such. The same was for the meat hall it was clean and odorless - I never saw more beef, lamb or pork in my life!! I was glad to have made this trip.
