Grande-dame department store Galeries Lafayette is spread across the main store (its magnificent neo-byzantine stained-glass dome dates from 1912), its men’s store, and homewares store with gourmet emporium.

　　Catch modern art in the 1st-floor gallery, take in a fashion show, ascend to a free, windswept rooftop panorama or take a break at one of its many restaurants and cafes.

　　For the best views of the dome, walk along the free, 9m-long glass walkway extending below it on the 3rd floor.

　　Check online for details of 70-minute behind-the-scenes store tours (adult/child €13.50/9), available in English.

　　A 2019-opened branch of Galeries Lafayette is located on the av des Champs-Élysées.
