In 1852, Aristide Boucicaut, realised that there was a demand for a new type of store that offered consumers a wider choice and he transformed a simple stall into one single “department store" selling a vast range of items, and where customers could browse to their hearts' content. The birth of Le Bon Marché heralded a whole new culture of commerce that included fixed prices, lower margins, home delivery, item exchange, mail order, promotional periods and sales, private concerts, etc. The start of 1875 saw the opening of an art gallery. The store served as a free intermediary and facilitator between artists and art lovers. Following the takeover of Le Bon Marché by the LVMH group in 1984, blending tradition with modernity and enjoying a warm and convivial atmosphere, Le Bon Marché evolved into a resolutely Parisian, upmarket store whose values espousing authenticity and culture were closely bound with the joys of shopping) <http://www.lebonmarche.com/en.html> fr.Wikipedia, August 25, 2015 (Le Bon Marché est un grand magasin français, situé au 24 rue de Sèvres dans le 7e arrondissement de Paris, à l'angle de la rue de Babylone et de la rue du Bac.
