Galeries Lafayette is, quite simply, a shopper’s temple. The clientele is extremely diverse, as it is one of the most visited places in Paris. This enormous store is divided into three houses: the one on the right, the main house, is for women and children, the one on the left is for men, and the one in the middle is specially dedicated to Home and Gourmet.

Considered the fashion store par excellence, Galeries Lafayette brings together all kinds of luxury and mid-range brands in one place. But today, you’ll find a little bit of everything, from fashion, home decoration, culture, cooking, sports, hairdressing and beauty, and much more.

As a popular tourist spot, Galeries Lafayette is packed with shoppers, especially in the middle of the day and at weekends. For leisurely shopping, it’s best to go during the week and in the morning. Tourists and locals alike are sure to admire the magnificent Art Nouveau-style dome, with its enchanting Christmas decorations.
