Monoprix

Loved this Monoprix. Helpful staff and huge selection.
The grocery store is downstairs and upstairs has cosmetics, toiletries, clothing, household cleaning supplies, and other miscellaneous items that you might need during your stay. Umbrellas, blankets, towels, sunglasses. The list goes on. They also accept various credit cards including American Express which was super convenient.
Would definitely recommend, especially for any tourist staying in Paris for a longer time.

Great place to buy souvenirs in the grocery section– fleur de sel, chocolate, truffles etc.
I was able to get a loyalty card as well from the information desk on the second floor, which saved me 30% on clothing items. If you have a young daughter, this is a great place to buy a fancy «party dress from Paris» :) — a great souvenir for a young fashionista.

This place is everything… I was looking all over for some paella and tadahhh right here under my nose and for $ 8.00 you get enough for two persons. I found the coffee I wanted to send back to the USA… I found these bobbie pins for french rolls (hairstyle) that are curved so they don’t pinch into my scalp. I found wonderful soap and nice pastries. All in one location. It was my last day in Paris and I had been going all over and everything was in one spot. Love this place… wish I could find out how to order online…

If you are visiting Paris from the USA Monoprix is the closest thing you will find to Target. It’s not the same but they do have tons of merchandise for you to choose from. I like the one on rue du rennes in the 6^th and the one on the Champs Elysees. You can get groceries, make-​up, clothes, books, toiletries, etc. Some are smaller than others but the two I listed are pretty big. The one on the Champs Elysees has a large children’s book section which I love because French books are so expensive in the States and they have a good variety. If you’ve forgotten anything or just need to pick up a few things this is the store to do it in.
Oh, there is also one on rue du poteau in the 18^th which has a great selection as well, make sure to go downstairs to see the basement as there is tons of stuff down there for you to look at as well.

I absolutely love this store. Everything I needed was right there. My French isn’t the greatest but there were so many ppl willing to help me. I was able to purchase cognac that’s not sold in the US. And the shopping carts are amazing they’re so ergonomical. I wish we had carts like that in the states

Haha, with the boutique shopping in Paris, can’t resist buying clothes here as well. It is the equivalent of Target in the US, but let me tell you that it is way better and more fashionable. Especially their kids clothes are fabulous.

This store has almost anything u desire at very fair prices. Has food department in basement and everything else you need for a household on the main floor including cosmetics shampoo etc. it is usually my first stop after the airport. Great place.

A short walk from our hotel, this particular Monoprix was a welcome stop for day to day items we may have failed to pack. After an initial encounter with Monoprix in Nice I was pleased to see a familiar brand. (If that makes me a victim of advertising I plead guilty as charged!)
While the first floor has its charms, my interests lie not so much in clothing but in cooking, alright let’s face it — eating. And to meander through the aisles on the lower level reveals a cornucopia of ready to eat goods that only reinforce that a French department store can have higher quality products than the pathetic supermarkets back home. (I name you, Key Food in NYC as the most blatant example of everything that Monoprix is not).
If you need to assemble a makeshift picnic to eat along the Seine, come here. If you need a snack in the hotel room or something to go with the berries you bought from the Bastille Marche on Sundays, come here. The saucisson section alone had my attention for minutes and remember, this is not a specialty shop but a generic mass-​market middle level department store.
Even with the Euro USD exchange rate being what it is, I never felt as if the money spent was exorbitant or wasted. (Unlike trips to Key Food, where the feeling of disgust begins as soon as I see the receipt).
The staff was friendly as well, complaining to me in French about other customers who apparently didn’t realize that the dressing room was unoccupied. Or at least that’s what I was able to piece together as a non native speaker. The most moving disappointment was having to reply in the negative about having a loyalty card.
Piece of plastic in my pocket or not, I remain a loyal fan of Monprix and will return wherever they are found.

If you’re an American & looking to find a store resembling home, come here. Another Unilocaler mentioned monoprix as the target of France & that’s pretty spot on except this is better than target (blasphemy being a minneapolis native & loyal to my target boutique). I could spend hours here walking through the aisles of french foods, wines, & their clothes are even cute. It’s got everything you need under one store… housewares/clothes/makeup/hygieneupstairs…food downstairs.

Ce n’est pas le Monop le plus près de chez moi, mais c’est celui où je préfère aller !! Donc ca m’est égal de faire un détour de 10 minutes car il y a beaucoup de choix, des produits frais renouvelés, un personnel sympa, un daily monop très largement fourni !!!

Je cherchais un Monop… Unilocal me disait qu’il y’en avait un par là mais impossible de voir les grosses lettres rouges… Zut ! Unilocal m’aurait menti ?!
Et non ! Ce Monoprix est le moins visible de France car sa devanture est toute petite et c’est écrit en gris foncé donc bien loin du MONOPRIX rouge éclatant…
Ceci est assez trompeur car en fait, ce Monoprix est plutôt très grand et étalé sur deux niveaux.

This is a great department store and this location was handy enough just a few doors down from the hotel we stayed in. Upon arrival we went here to purchase the necessities that are cheaper to buy than pack these days like toothpaste, sunscreen, and other toiletries. They have a great selection and reasonable pricing.

Ce Monoprix n’est plus très à la page. Même si le rez de chaussé est très bien fourni, le rayon alimentation au sous-​sol est un peu tristoune: tout gris et beige, bas de plafond avec des lumières néons.
Et même si l’on a resisté à la tentation d’acheter plein de super fringues, cosmétiques et objets de décoration de bon goût, le portefeuille souffre lorsqu’il s’agit de remplir son frigo.
J’habite en petite banlieue et j’ai le don de me souvenir de tous les prix que je vois, et bien je peux vous assurer que tout est bien trop cher… parfois deux fois plus cher que chez moi sur des produits tout simples!
Bön le truc cool c’est que j’y ai croisé Béatrice Dalle!

I love Monoprix. Here’s why:
1. You can find cute and Made in France gifts for your family and friends back home! No need to bring back home cheap and crappy souvenirs.
2. Monoprix is a great place to stock up on groceries (but not bread nor cheese, go out and get the fresh stuff in the neighborhood bakeries and cheese shops for these items)
3. It’s open later than other shops in the neighborhood
4. You basically can find everything here. Here’s my list of finds:
100% French Argan oil (It makes your hair so shiny and soft)
Mere Poulard cookies (Made in France)
Various soaps made in France for gift giving

I love you, Monoprix.

I heart Monoprix! I have a feeling that this is where most Parisians come to do their one-​stop shopping in a pinch.
While not glamorous by any means, this is a great budget stop for anyone who anyone who wants to make a home-​cooked meal. In my case, I was ecstatic to find ready-​to-​cook foie gras and quails in their refrigerated section. And really, their foie pates are quite decent as well — beats spending 100+ euros /​kg at Grand Epicerie.
Blissfully inexpensive wine selection as well.

I’ll have to basically agree with the other reviewers, Monoprix is the U.S. version of Target. I went to a couple of different ones and it’s stocked with clothes, makeup, groceries, and a decent wine selection. We went here a couple of times to the deli/​bakery section for their delicious sandwiches. They had a sicilian sandwich that came on fresh baked bread with huge slices of mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, spinach, and olives topped with a drizzle of EVOO. Delish! I highly recommend picking up a couple of their sandwiches and getting a bottle of wine and making yourself a picnic right by the Eiffel Tower. Also don’t forget to pick up a few pain au chocolat for breakfast. It’ll be one of the best things you’ve ever eaten and only 1 euro!

If you want to take home a little piece of Paris, forget French Can-​Can musical snow globes, I (heart) Paris t-​shirts, La Tour Eiffel keychains or macarons that are unlikely to survive your trip back home.
Come instead to Monoprix where you can:
— Pick up a sassy tote for the beach and answer «Paris» when folks clamor to know where you got it.
— Snag a couple bags of mes oursons à la guimauve (chocolate covered marshmallow bears) to take back to the office and delight your colleagues.
— Buy your friend’s baby a chic kid cardigan and that’s sure to make you smile every time you see him in it.
This location is fairly sizable and well-​stocked. My only complaint? I couldn’t find Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse, a body oil I love to splash on post-​shower, despite an exhaustive search of the body care products area.

Since our trip to Paris couldn’t be spent ENTIRELY on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-​Honoré (and really — if I had thousands to have spent, it would have) I had to supplemental my inner fashionista with the frugalista I’ve learned to become in a less than desirable economic situation. Thanks to Monoprix — my personal Stimulus package would be satisfied! Oh, that didn’t come out right did it?
Monoprix could definitely be the French counterpart to our very own Target in the States… they offer a little of everything. I bought a super cute Autre Ton (a clothing line exclusive to Monoprix) tunic and thin sweater for next to nothing and have owned them now over a year and their both still in like new condition and relevant, at that! Great inexpensive shop.

The first thing that hit me when I walked through the automatic doors was the smell, reminiscent of wet dog. Perhaps it’s a cultural smell that I’m not entirely used to?
Large department stores do not romanticize me, I’ve gone into too many of them. However, I wanted to visit this one just to see if they were similar to the ones back home. Yes, they are. It’s like a super walmart, but smaller and in a basement.
They had cooking tools that were affordable, like a few micro-​sized glass bowls I bought for souvenirs for my fellow food industry workers back home. It helped that they said, «Made in France» on the bottom. Plus, for 1 euro, you can’t beat it. I also went and bought a few jars of Dijon mustard and while you may be thinking, «What the?» When Dijon is used so frequently in a lot of recipes, it costs a whopping $ 5 in the states, when I can buy it for 1 euro in Paris. So, I bought a few jars. It didn’t help that they confiscated all but one at the Montréal airport, but managed to miss one jar I had at the bottom. Ha! Delicious contraband mustard tastes much better.
The store wasn’t anything to brag about, I mostly wandered around, one thing that stood out was the Weight Watchers duck pâté in the cold area. Monoprix had tons of pre-​prepared foods to go, including sandwiches and very affordable. I grabbed bottled water and a chicken mustard salad sandwich. It turned out to be one of the most disgusting things I ate in Paris. But, if you’re pushing the budget, like I was, I’m sure you’ll have a much better chance of picking a tolerable sandwich or another pre-​prepared foot item and re-​energizing on one of the benches of the St. Paul Metro to people watch.

Monoprix = Target in France! :)
This establishment has saved me so much money and helped me live in Paris without being absolutely poor! They literally have everything from groceries to school supplies to clothes. Definitely a one-​stop place to go!

Bonjour from Paris, oui!
I was able to shop for clothing in the most fashionable city in the world without breaking the bank. Two pair of pants and one very sleek one bra with matching panties totaled approx. 30 Euros (U.S.D. $ 25.00). Monoprix have some nice clothing that made me very alluring. Upon payment this discount department store distributes store coupons to entice patrons for a return visit. As tourist my former love and I were in town for eleven days, thus sadly we were unable to utilize these coupons for the next visit.

You’re probably wondering how I managed to survive Paris when the euro was raping the dollar with no mercy. Here is your answer: Monoprix.
They stock this one generic brand of smoked salmon that costs 3 euros for like a pound and I used to have that as my day’s food. It tastes better than premium brands, actually. Also, two words: coconut yogurt. I don’t know why there isn’t coconut flavored yogurt in the US, but I think it’s simply unacceptable.
Their wine selection is also stellar if you are into buying wines for less than 5 euros, and who isn’t? Even if you’re on vacation, I highly recommend getting grocery for snacks and then only dining out at select spots. Especially if you’re going to visit a spot like Sacre Coeur, the selection of eateries in the area are just an abyss of traps for money, you should definitely bring a picnic basket with you and eat on the steps and enjoy one of the best views in Paris. Seriously, I just shed a baby tear at the thought of it.
They also have cute lingerie and espadrilles [in the summer]. I love you, Monoprix. I didn’t think I’d ever feel that way about a supermarket, but you changed all that.

Le Monoprix Saint Paul est mon préféré parmi tous les Monoprix.
Il n’y a que des produits de qualité, des plus classiques aux plus originaux.
Comme c’est un quartier où il y a beaucoup de célibataires, on peut y trouver plein de plats pour une personne. Même les légumes existent en portions individuelles sous vide !
Des marques comme Fauchon ou Kusmi Tea attireront les plus bobos.
Pratique: il y a une photocopieuse et un photomaton.

des supermarchés pratiques et avec un super assortiment de produits
