Fodor's Review:
Galeries Lafayette is one of those places that you wander into unawares, leaving hours later a poorer and humbler person. The flagship store at 40 boulevard Haussmann bulges with thousands of designers; a Belle Epoque stained-glass dome caps the world's largest perfumery. Get a closer look at a free fashion show held every Friday at 3 PM under the spectacular domed café (advance reservations are a must: call 01-42-82-36-40). Don't miss the delectable comestibles department, stocked with the best of everything from herbed goat cheese to Iranian caviar. Just across the street at 35 boulevard Haussmann is Galeries Lafayette Maison. The Montparnasse branch is a pale shadow of the boulevard Haussmann behemoths.
