Paris - The Grande Epicerie (Awesome food store)

This store is part of "The Bon Marche" and what started out as a small walk through while we were waiting for a church to open turned into a total delight for the eyes, ears, nose and mouth!  Tina remarked that had we found this store at the beginning of the trip, we would have had to eat more meals at home because she would have FILLED the tiny apartment refrigerator.

This is some store! I am amazed at the variety and selection. This reminds me a little bit of the Edwardian food court we saw at Harrod's in London.

Never in my life have I seen such a selection of...well, anything you could ever want to eat. The place was massive. It made you hungry just walking around.
