meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.at this paris location，single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. when they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. they try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道).with purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. when they are ready to pay, they can go to the
