Au gagne petit, Historical department store on Avenue de l'Opera, Paris, France
The facade displays an ornate relief depicting a knife grinder, crafted to represent the establishment's name and trade significance from 1878.
After the demolition of Rue des Moineaux, merchant Bouruet-Aubertot relocated his textile business to 23 Avenue de l'Opera in 1878.
The term 'gagne-petit' originated from low-income artisan trades, reflecting the societal structure of nineteenth-century Parisian commerce.
The original department store has transformed into a Monoprix while maintaining its protected historical facade at 23 Avenue de l'Opera.
A dark green marble foundation plate bears the Roman numeral inscription 'XXII AOUT MDCCCLXVII,' marking the construction date.
