The New Paris Dispatch #3

Welcome to a new series bringing you quick news updates from Paris in everything from food and shopping to culture and urban development.

LA GRANDE EPICERIE OPENS RIVE DROITE
Well, don’t get excited, it’s not in the section of the right bank with the most to do and eat. The new outpost of Le Bon Marché’s beloved food hall is deep in the 16th arrondissement on the shopping street rue de Passy. It has the same vast selection of international goods, fresh pastries, local brands and culinary events. If you want to go but aren’t sure what else to do/see/eat in the 16th, might I recommend:

–Palais de Tokyo contemporary museum followed by drinks or lunch/dinner at Les Grands Verres

-Drinks, lunch, dinner at La Rotonde de la Muette, a recently-renovated brasserie institution with all-day service and a cozy atmosphere for lingering after a day of shopping or museum-hopping.

-Spa treatment, swim, or drinks at Hotel Molitor
