Galeries Lafayette

Since opening in the late 19th century, Galeries Lafayette has kept the spirit of the department store alive right in the heart of Paris. Under an Art Nouveau dome in 3 adjacent buildings, 15,000m2 spread over 7 floors are dedicated to clothes, luxury accessories, jewellery and decor. The store boasts the best you’ll find when it comes to fashion and lifestyle, divided into departments including men, ladies, children and beauty. Contemporary prêt-à-porter names such as Vanessa Bruno, Isabel Marant and The Kooples rub shoulders with haute couture, including the likes of Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga and Chloé. Make sure to visit the wonderful gourmet food hall, featuring delicious treats from chef Pierre Hermé and Hédiard.
