For its 160th anniversary, Le Bon Marché is adorned in black and gold, offers a unique place for the monuments on the left bank in its windows, and offers a collection of audacious biases within La Galerie Imaginaire as well as a unique selection of ultra-exclusive objects. And last night, the temple of Aristide Boucicault hosted a host of happenings, from tasting in the brand new cellar of the Grande Epicerie, to the signatures of Jean-Michel Berts, Pierre Hardy and Olivier Saillard, without forgetting the brass band and make-up sessions with great names from the world of cosmetics, Olivier Echaudemaison in the lead.
