Capucines

Though this store could easily be missed because it's (admittedly unusual) stone facade is hidden behind construction, cars, and clutter, this store turns out to be, quite possibly, the most beautifully ornate store in the entire world. When you walk in, your eyes will immediately move past the lobby into a great hall held up my ornately decorated stone columns leading up to a lavish ceiling. Your neck will strain as your eyes move from the ceiling's paintings to the bas relief figures decorating the ceiling's trim. When you finally feel the need to look away, you can lower your eyes and count all the chandeliers spaced throughout the hall. But I must be honest--my words cannot even begin to describe this store. You must either come to Paris to see it, or hope that Starbucks chooses to post photographs.
