If you're a shopping lover like myself, do not miss out on Galeries Lafayette. Although the architecture itself is beautiful and made for some beautiful photos, particularly the central dome... very impressive! The range of stores and brands inside is very extensive. Yes, it can be quite busy, but I don't think there's too many people to completely ruin your... More

Our hotel 'Lautrec Opera' was nearby and we came across this wonderful Department store whilst seaching for 'a bathroom stop' and no other store would let us use theirs :) What a find! We had never heard of it before and had no idea we were going to find this wonderful dome in the centre of a 4-5 level shopping... More

LOTS of people go to Galeries Lafayette - and for good reason. The central dome is a magnificent monument to Parisian architechture and consumption. In addition, you can find some fantastic brands at pretty good prices (compared to some smaller boutiques....there is not much cheap at GL.....) If you like shoes, ladies - head to -1 and knock yourself out.... More

Been there, done that. No point in pretending you like pushing through heards of people in a poorly air conditioned building where the only air to be found is up on the roof terrace - where the view is fantastic and a cup of coffee in a paper cup costs a small fortune and there's few seats for those who...

A very busy and crowded shopping mall in the heart of Paris. Suited for those who love shopping, prices depends on the person's tastes, preferences and brands. What we really went there for is the gorgeous Glass dome and the panoramic view of the mall. Food is quite expensive inside but lovely. More

I'm not really into bit-time shopping but in Paris I always visit Galeries Lafayette if only to admire the beautiful stained glass dome and look at all the beautiful shoes. I once bought a dress here and had excellent service. Staff are very polite and attentive. It's definitely worth a visit even if you can't afford to buy anything. And... More

You can take the escalators to the 6th floor and walk up one flight to a room terrace with a 360 degree view of Paris. It's free and unforgettable. More
