Galeries Lafayette

Galaries Lafayette is one of the shopping spot for the rich like the Arab Sheiks.
Aiman and my husband on the pavement taking the night view. There's a lot of stall outside.

Outside is a medieval building. Inside? A mixture of old and new.

One special thing about this junction in Lafayette is that it is the meeting of six streets instead of the usual four. Can you name another place in the world that have six streets in a junction?

Inside the Galeries Lafayette is a mixture of old and new. Ultra modern shopping complex inside a medieval building, complete with a lush dome.

On the ground floor there's a lot of make up and perfume booths. Paris is famous for its perfume.

The dome that leave me gasping the first time I saw it.

The setting is more like an opera house than a shopping complex.

My beloved husband and Aiman.

At the background you can see a lot of clothes hanging for sale.

At one of the stall outside. Selling favourite items for tourists.

Everywhere are medieval buildings that didn't portray the modern architecture inside. This is Paris - medieval outside but modern inside.
