11. Shops and Bazaars.

Shops. The most attractive are those in the Grands Boulevards,
the Rue de la Paix, Avenue de l'Opéra, Rue Royale, Rue du Quatre
Septembre, and Rue de Rivoli., but there are large and much-fre-
quented emporiums in other parts of the city.

A few of the best and most respectable of the innumerable
and tempting 'magasins' of Paris are here enumerated. The prices
tend to be somewhat high. The 'prix-fixe' system now obtains almost
universally, and, in the larger and more reputable establishments
especially, strangers run little risk of being fleeced.

The Grands Magasins db Nouveautés, large establishments
for the sale of all kinds of materials for ladies' dress, trimmings,
laces, etc., form a very important feature of modern Paris, and
owing to the abundant choice of goods they offer are gradually
superseding the smaller shops. Perhaps the most important of these
establishments is the Bon Marché, Rue du Bac 135 and 137, and
Rue de Sevres 18-24 (Pl. R, 16; IV), rather distant from the centre
of the town, with which may be mentioned the Grands Magasins
du Louvre, in the Place du Palais-Royal (p. 90) and the Rues de
Rivoli, de Marengo, and St. Honoré. Of a similar character are : Le
Printemps, at the corner of the Boul. Haussmann and the Rue du
Havre ; the Petit St. Thomas, Rue du Bac 27-35 ; A la Place Clichy,
in the place of that name ; the Ville de St. Denis, Rue du Faubourg-
St-Denis 91-95; Pygmalion, corner of the Rues St. Denis and de
Rivoli, and Boul. de Sébastopol 9-13; the Samaritaine, Rue du
Pont-Neuf and Rue de Rivoli, moderate.

Similar to these Grands Magasins de Nouveautés are the Ba-
zaars, at some of which all kinds of household requisites and
luxuries may be obtained, while others devote themselves to cheap
goods of every kind. Perhaps the most attractive of the former is
the large Bazar de l'Hotel-de-Ville, Rue de Rivoli 50-54, beside
the Hôtel de Ville. Of a similar character are the Nouvelles Galeries.
Avenue de Clichy 43. Among the others may be mentioned the Bazar
Magenta, Boul. Magenta 86, the Bazar des Halles et des Postes, Rue
du Louvre 15, and the Bazar du Château-d'Eau, Rue du Faubourg-
du-Temple 2, Place de la République.
