The Galeries Lafayette is a department store that does not look anything like a department store.
It puts all other shopping destinations to shame.
Look at the architecture and that cupola!
And those crystal chandeliers!
Interested in a different kind of shopping, I went down to my happy place - The Lafayette Gourmet.
This place is dedicated entirely to gourmet foods with tasting bars, restaurants and deli counters.
