Au Bon Marche Department Store 0000-3806

The Au Bon Marche is typical of the period that Eiffel's finest architectural work should be carried out in the service of Aristide Boucicaut's pioneering, fixed price department store first established in 1852. Boucicaut's selling methods quickly vindicated themselves and by 1872 he was able to build expanded premises for his Bon March, store in rue de Babylone, to the designs of M.A. Laplanche. This was the complex that Boileau and Eiffel added to in 1876. The Boileau/Eiffel section of the Bon March, was penetrated and articulated by spectacular light wells, bridges and Baroque staircases. Equally integrated into the structure were light metal catwalks running over the high-pitched ferro-vitreous roof covering the major voids.""
