Bon Marché, (French: “Good Buy”), department store in Paris, founded as a small shop in the early 19th century. By about 1865 it had become the world’s first true department store. In 1876 the shop was given a new building, with skylighted interior courts, designed by the engineer Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel and architect Louis-Auguste Boileau.
