Le Bon Marché. Personally recommending Le Bon Marché, it is not like Lafayette and Printemps with so many people. It is a local market that Parisiens like to go there for shopping. Of course, if you want to experience the classic Lafayette and Printemps, visit the magnificent Opéra, going up to the top of Lafayette is also a great idea.
