"first"
Just removed this "However, this claim is more common myth than truth as Kendal Milne and Faulker opened a department store in Manchester, England in 1835, predating the Le Bon Marché by three years." It is not sourced and does not sound credible. Codik (talk) 14:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Olympic movement
I found this bit in the article. I think it accidentally got there as it has no bearing on the article. JHvW 18:38, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * After adopting the interlocking rings emblem in 1914, Pierre de Coubertin commission the official Olympic flag to be made in this store for the 1916 Summer Olympics. It debuted in the 1920 Summer Olympics.

Who were the architects that designed the original Le Bon Marché building?
Hello all, According to this article in Le Figaro, the architects were "Gustave Eiffel et Louis-Charles Boileau". The article and its references seem to be somewhat contradictory. Pierrot aka --Shirt58 (talk) 13:23, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
