Your One Stop Shop Destination in Paris

When many people think of Galeries Lafayette, they immediately think about how it’s the greatest shopping experience in Paris. From its 10 glorious floors of brands, to it’s gorgeous to its historical dome. Galeries Lafayette has become one of Paris’s must see landmarks. Many people don’t know that Galeries Lafayette is much more than a shopping experience. Today I’m excited to break down for you all the wonderful things you can do and experience while at Galeries Lafayette.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE HISTORICAL DOME

When you walk into Galeries Lafayette you are immediately blown away by the incredible architecture, historical dome, and rich history. Artist Georges Chedanne finished the historical dome in 1912. This 43M high neo-byzantine dome has become one of Galeries Lafayette unique features.

RESTAURANTS FOR EVERY TASTE

After a fun day of shopping, I always work up an appetite. Thankfully, Galeries Lafayette offers 20 different dining options to satisfy your taste. Stop for a quick snack break, or enjoy a full dining experience.

BEST FREE ROOFTOP VIEW

One of my most requested questions is: where can I get an amazing view of Paris? My answer is always the same, Galeries Lafayette rooftop view. I’ve been enjoying this view long before I ever moved to Paris. From the rooftop you can view the Eiffel Tower, the opera house, and many other historical landmarks.

The best part of Galeries Lafayette rooftop is there is no charge to go onto the rooftop. Plus they even have a restaurant and a bar on the rooftop in case you get hungry or thirsty!
