Galeries Lafayette




The Galeries Lafayette is a 10 story department store in the heart of Paris. This store was opened in 1893 and boasts of having all the latest in men's and women's fashions, much like Harrods in London. This is a picture of the center dome inside the store. Of course the women had to spend an entire day shopping in this store with absolutely nothing in mind to buy. But they finally melted down the credit cards, and ended the day complaining that they ran out of time. They had coats, handbags, jewelery, and shoes stuffed in huge bags, all of which I'm sure will never get used. Brent and I sit on this rail outside wondering why women can't just go in, buy what they need and leave. While the girls wasted the day shopping, we joined all of the normal tourists, and took a bus tour to see all of the Paris sights at 20 euros each.
