Galeries Lafayette

I hate shopping.

I especially hate shopping this time of year. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

But … there’s one place on this planet where I love to go shopping.

Do I need to say it?

Paris has some spectacular department stores. This one, Galeries Lafayette, opened its doors in 1912. When you get there (because, really, everyone should go shopping in Paris at least once in a lifetime), be sure to check out the atrium with its glass dome.

And the food hall. Don’t forget to visit the food hall.
