Summary
With its first store opened on the Place de la Madeleine in Paris in 1886, the flagship shop still stands there today. Maison Fauchon is one of Paris’s premier gourmet food shops. It offers gourmet grocery items, including chocolates, signature tea and coffee, biscuits, jams, mustards, confits, oils, foie gras, and pâtés. This iconic Parisian épicerie features a separate bakery and traiteur (gourmet delicatessen) at its Madeleine location, along with a restaurant-tea house and a wine cellar. Consequently, Fauchon becomes especially busy during the Christmas and holiday season as it is a favored spot for stocking up on holiday meal items and gifts for foodies.
