BHV Department Store at Night

     BHVNight         

This is the famous Bazar de l’Hôtel de Ville all lit up at night. It's one of the traditional giant department stores in Paris. It is so named because it is right across from Paris City Hall (Hôtel de Ville, in French).

The store has been in dire straits lately, due a change in management, so there is a risk that it may go the way of La Samaritaine or Aux Trois Quartiers. The other famous stores remaining are Au Printemps , Galeries Lafayette, and Le Bon Marché .
