This year the fir tree, King of the Forests, reigns over the Christmas festivities at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche. The hunt for the perfect, unique gift becomes an experience in itself, with multiple new discoveries to enjoy alone, with family or among friends. The variety of the selection from over 250 brands, often in exclusive partnership, is only equalled by its originality, plus there's something to suit all budgets. It has a host of personalisation options to make every present a unique intention, while the Gallery of Imagination offers a very unusual range. Gift boxes have been reinvented to conjure up new emotions, while the third millennium Cabinet of Curiosities on the first floor displays a unique vintage charm. Gifts for men are no longer a headache, but fun, with trailblazing products that are perfect for getting around the city. Inseparable from the season of sharing, the gourmet delights imagined by the chefs and teams at La Grande Épicerie de Paris, inspired by the fir forests, will take pride of place on the most beautiful tables this Christmas.

Le Bon Marché window displays are full of the season’s magic, much like our Christmas tree. Young and old will once again hurry to the second floor to marvel at the enchanting spectacle of a grove of fir trees that takes them to an imaginary North Pole with Father – and Mother – Christmas. Alongside, another fir tree is alive with toys, multicoloured balloons and sweets, while a third is home to wild animals, and a fourth is covered in the dazzling colours of the 1001 Nights. To make each present unique, Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche has expanded its offer, turning each bespoke gift into a special experience. It could be musical, with a recording session of your favourite song at the Lola James Harper stand, a studio school renamed “Art District” for the occasion. Enjoy an exceptional Ishua cruise, an exclusive offer, fully designed on site with the expert advice of a skipper, so you can include all your preferences, and the routes, underwater exploration, meals and secret coves you'd like to experience. The exclusive well-being experience – your choice of a combination of the four elements celebrated at the Hotel Lutetia’s Spa Akasha4 with four 100% holistic offers. For diehard football fans, the PSG gift box offers a special, limited edition experience, with two tickets for a League 1 match, a private stadium tour and many other surprises.
