The M&S reopening in Paris, after they regrettably closed all stores about 10 years ago, is not very "Rosy". The new "boutique" is very small, cramped in fact, and does not resemble in any way what one expects of an M&S store in Britain.
Women, who naturally love "boutiques", have a little bit of everything going for them. The problem is that there is no room or anything on offer for their men who often have the chequebook or credit card !!!
With respect to the food counter, this too is miniature and will not attract the passing customer as in Britain. At present the novelty of a new "M&S Boutique" in Paris, albeit on the Champs Elysées, means you have to queue before you can get in !!!
It seems two very big stores are planned for the outskirts of Paris, but the well heeled British in Paris will always regret the closure of the well situated M&S store in Boulevard Haussmann; it was beautifully placed to compete against the best, and also against the world renowned French stores !!!
