The Emporium, the largest shop at Disneyland Paris

The decor of the Emporium recalls the great stores and boutiques of early 20th-century America. The setting is resolutely Victorian, rich in detail and ornament. Behind the registers, two large frescoes evoke the other two shops of the chain, found in the Disney parks of Florida and California. Overhead, a spectacular glass dome displays famous inventors whose renown has crossed the ages.

Attention to detail has been pushed to its limit. As you browse, look up: small rails carry baskets high above the floor. The device recalls an original practice of the period, when staff were not allowed to handle money. Payments were sent to a separate back room, safely out of reach of thieves. These small touches turn a simple visit into a journey back in time. 

A wealth of articles awaits in the busiest shop in the whole park. Among them:

• Souvenirs such as magnets, keychains, and pens.
• Mugs, flasks, and bowls bearing your favorite heroes.
• Toys, figurines, dolls, and, of course, a wide choice of plush.
• Confectionery, including lollipops.
• Costumes and dress-up pieces
• Accessories to match your favorite character, such as Mickey ears.
• Ready-to-wear clothing and accessories.
• Cutlery, tableware, and a whole section devoted to the art of the table.  
• Seasonal items for Christmas, Halloween, and other festivities.

Such variety gives a sense of the immense choice the Emporium offers. Enough to find whatever you are looking for, treat yourself, or delight those close to you. 

The Emporium is so vast that no fewer than four entrances have been arranged.

The first stands on the corner, opposite New Century Notions, Flora's Boutique. Another opens onto the central avenue leading to Sleeping Beauty Castle. A third can be reached through the Liberty Arcade. Finally, you may also step into the Emporium near Dapper Dan's Haircut. 

The enchanted realm that welcomes you into the park offers several fine attractions, among them the Horse-Drawn Streetcars and the Disneyland Railroad.
