The Great Grocery
This institution of foodies turns out to be a real Ali Baba's cave where we find a lot of nuggets for pimp his meals. Starting with Guérande salt with branded truffles, top quality olive oil, spices from around the world, regressive spreads, thousands of chocolate bars, not to mention the great vintages and rare bottles that enthroned in the shelves of the cellar… It's simple, the offer is so wide that you get lost each time for hours! The plus: for those who don't live in the capital, know that La Grande Épicerie delivers everywhere in France.

Eataly Paris Marais
For more than a year now, the most desirable Italian food concept has settled down in the heart of the Marais… To the delight of local foodies! 2500 m2 of pure happiness in which there are 7 restaurants but also an 'open' market with stalls filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, sourced from vegetable the sharpest of the boot… Psssst, the arrival is done 3 times a week! Next door is the exceptional butcher's shop Butchery which deals, among other things, with meat from La Granda. The stall I SALUMI which offers the best of Italian charcuterie is located just opposite I FORMAGGI, the ideal spot to buy a gorgonzola and other crazy parmesans.
And to be able to redo all the delicious dishes you have tasted, head to the delicatessen. Pasta of all kinds, olive oils from top chefs, mozzarella di Buffala, rice for risottos, biscuits straight from La Botte… The real dolce vita is yours!
