Founded in 1893, Galeries Lafayette
has always been a trend-setter in the
Parisian fashion world. The multiple
store complex is home to scores of
famous luxury brands, but also serves as
a launching pad
for young and upcoming designers.
‘Lafayette Homme & Gourmet’ and
‘Lafayette Maison’, the main store,
offer a vast array of ladies, men’s and
children’s apparel, VO for young people,
skincare products and cosmetics, food
products, kitchenware, cooking utensils,
table linen, crystalware, chinaware, and
interior decoration items.
Galeries Lafayette is not only well
known for shopping, but also has a
reputation for being one of the best
sightseeing spots in Paris. The splendid
glass dome of Neo-Byzantine style has
been classified as a historical
monument. It is an architectural
landmark which attracts people from all
over the world. The terrasse of the
building offers a splendid panoramic
view of the city. The newly renovated
building of the Opera Garnier House lies
beneath your eyes, and if you look up,
you will see in the distance the
Basilica of the Sacred Heart atop the
Montmartre Hill.
