Paris: Citypharma Du Four Bonaparte - a Trader Joe's for Beauty Items...

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/31/fa...-tow.html?_r=0

Interesting story in today's NYTimes about the mega popular Citypharma Du Four Bonaparte in Paris - how the place selling famous French beauty products at rock-bottom prices is being flooded with tourist seeking such things to take home.

So folks into French perfumes, lotions, oils, make-up, etc check it out!

I suppose after this article the lines will be even longer than the last time I was there. Staff is so knowledgeable you will probably find products you had no idea you wanted or needed Deborah

It's a bit laughable to pinpoint a place in tourist hell as the place to go when these establishments can be found all over the city.
