GALERIES LAFAYETTE
Go there and contact
With its late 19th century façade and its fabulous dome encrusted with stained glass, this department store is an institution in the capital! A favourite of tourists and Parisians alike, the Galeries are spread over several buildings overlooking the Boulevard Haussmann. Three buildings, one of which is dedicated to fashion (designers, haute couture, shoes with a basement entirely dedicated to accessories and perfumery), another to men's fashion and travel, and a last one dedicated to household linen and especially to cooking: Lafayette Maison, which has been a hit since last year since it has been completely redesigned to make room for the ultimate in culinary arts. In the basement, there is a mini-market offering quality fruit and vegetables, and above all a superb delicatessen where you can find everything from truffle cream from the Périgord to the best Canadian maple syrup. You can travel around the world in a few aisles: India, the United States, Italy, Spain, England... On the floors, the best brands of cooking and pastry-making utensils make your eyes glaze over! In the centre of the store, cooking classes are given by chefs. Not far from there, the Lafayette Gourmet cellar allows you to choose a vintage in a dark and cosy setting, while Mariage Frères has elected a counter a few steps away. The ground floor offers the best addresses in Paris for food: Bellota, Petrossian, Christophe Adam's éclair de génie... You can eat on the go (although at a high price) or treat yourself to delicacies.
