Extremely crowded on on Monday afternoon in October mostly tourists. Lots of food choices but all seemed packed. Enjoy the quiet in the shoe floor. The outside terrace is lovely And the glass dome is beautiful Children floor looked good Loved looking at the handbags. But too crowded to really shop

This is a very high end department store so if you are into shopping, this is the place to be! Galeries Lafayette is a gorgeous building with an amazing dome. There is a glass walkway you can stand out on over the inner atrium. If you go to every floor and every department, it will take you several hours as this place is really huge. I see other reviewers talk about a fee but I don't know what that fee is. We just walked into the building and shopped and dined for a few hours. If you can, try to go to the outdoor terrace for sweeping views of Paris! The baked goods were divine. We had lunch on the top level and as expected, it was pricey. Lots of people visit so if you don't like crowds, this isn't the place to be as it gets very crowded with pushy people.

If you love shopping go there! I got great deals there, bags that are limited edition as well. It’s really big so you should know which stores you want to go beforehand plus the LV line is always so long so I advice to go earlier.

We purchased tickets for 2 adults and 3 children thinking we would all get to make macaroons for the price we paid. Only the kids got to participate and they only got to mix the filling for the macaroons and nothing else. Very hard to find and no one in the Galleries knew anything about the class or where to go. Definitely would not recommend.

Galeries Lafayette is an enormous shopping complex with a stunning glass dome interior design. It offers a wide range of brands, from clothing to perfumes. Though it was very crowded, the free, fabulous view of Paris from the rooftop made the visit worthwhile. A must-see for both shopping and sightseeing!

A huge shopping complex spread out over several blocks and streets. If you cant find what you want to buy here then you probably wont find it anywhere. Very crowded and a bit overpriced. Fabulous view of Paris from the top of the Cupola building.

I visited Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann on Sunday the 22/09. The shopping experience turned out to be a disaster at Max Mara counter. Their Asian sales refused to let me try "teddy coat" unless I agree to buy another coat... Since when the france allows "la vente forcée?" While she said this is Max Mara's usual practice, I had a much more pleasant shopping experience 20 minutes after at Printemps! For those who want to have a real luxury shopping experience, la Printemps is definitely the place to be! Not Galeries Lafayette!

The design of this beautiful department store is fabulous. The dome, the glass sky walk, the roof top terrace were all absolutely amazing, as was the whole building. The high end designer brands on the first couple of floors were "just for looking" but lovely to see all the displays. The third floor still had high end but slightly more affordable for a treat. We had lovely brunch at the pretty Elan cafe which was one of the cafe/restaurants within the store. A really great visit.

The class comprised watching the instructor mix the cookie dough, and each participant forming one macaron, then mixing the pre-measured ingredients for the ganche and spreading it on pre-baked cookies. Baking the cookies is the hard part, and we did not learn how to do that. The instructor was robotic.

I attended the fashion show (every Friday) here with my granddaughter. Buy tickets in advance. It was so fun. Purchased souvenirs here, and my favorite Le Jacquard tea towels (in the home goods building). I pay 35.00 each here in the US. They were 19.00 euros here. A true MADE IN FRANCE product. Beautiful patterns and So many to choose from. This is a very high end department store. Bring your wallet. High end designers.

I could wander around here for hours. Beautiful! We did the glass sky walk (grab free reservations online), went to the rooftop terrace for sweeping views of Paris (including the Eiffel Tower), went to the fashion show (get paid reservations in advance), and took a macaron making class. And that doesn't even include the shopping!

This was our seventeenth trip to Paris and when we were looking for new opportunities to explore, we were thrilled to take this wonderful tour! Led by a very knowledgeable woman who used an IPad to show early photos and add to the historical interest, this small group got to see the Archives/learn about the gorgeous dome and explore behind it and so much more!

Three Aussies went to last Friday's fashion show at Galeries Lafayette. We had a most enjoyable time. The models were great and the clothes fabulous. I thoroughly recommend this.

We visited this department store after advice it has a stunning dome and roof top terrace where you can take some superb pics as well as buying designer clothes etc Tip the Dome is in the ladies building there is a bridge to get your Instagram shot, go to the roof terrace in the same building

A fabulous department store, well worth visiting. Highlights were the stationery department and toy department. However every single floor was perfectly laid out full of gorgeous brands. Aside from the famous domed roof which is stunning, I would highly recommend visiting the seventh floor roof terrace for a stunning view over the Paris rooftops and the Eiffel Tower. As a free activity, this was a lovely way to spend half an hour. There are also deckchairs on the roof and almost a 360 degree view. A fantastic photo spot. Quiet too!
