Walking a festive Paris, France to visit the stunning Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann, which is an upmarket French department store chain, the biggest in Europe. Its flagship store is on Boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. The architecture of the store is art nouveau, with a remarkable dome and a rooftop panoramic view of Paris. The theme for Christmas 2023 is by Charles de Vilmorin telling the tale of the little girl, her magic paintbrush and all the wonderful characters they meet in their adventures, with the centrepiece being a reinvention of the traditional Christmas tree with creatures twirling around the giant tree filled with lights and sparkle beneath the iconic dome.

Nice to see a video on Paris. Hope you didn’t encounter any bedbugs.
Omg I love Galeries Lafayette! So nice to see a video on it.

Legal gostei 👌👌👌
The dome lights were beautiful, thank you.
Fantastic video from the huge Department Store, I love the Christmas Tree, and to see it from different angles and levels and floors. And all the lights around the Christmas Tree. Fantastic view from the roof. Thank you.
Hello WW! Stunning place, wow! So beautifully decorated for the season. The glass walk is incredible, such a great view from it. Thanks for sharing it on such a busy day.😊
Great video and the store looks superb now. I must confess thst when I last visited in 2005 I was rather disappointed.
Fantastic…..I loved the views from the rooftop
Hello Master WW. I was floored seeing this most beautiful store. Absolutely breath taking. The centerpiece christmas design is outstanding. along with your filming. Paris is showing off. Thank you sir.🥰🥰🥰
amazing atmosphere, full of light knick-knacks
What is LA TERRASSE? Restaurant?
Amazing display!
Creepy
je connais les Galerie Lafayette puis que j'habite en France , mais merci pour cette visite avec les décors de Noël pas besoin d'aller à Paris comme çà
Beautiful imagery indeed. Wonderful Paris store. Surprisingly ( in 30 mins…) how many people were actually there to shop…
A display worthy of much more from the public, me thinks…
Ironically, the store can afford to put on a show like this and has to as well…
The lack of people carrying G.Lafayette colorful shopping bags indicates a certain spending power in 30 minutes.
Multiply that times 8 hours.
Times 7 days a week…4 months a year…52 weeks in a year…365…
I worked in fashion for 18 – 22 years. I used to count the bags as an indicator of the kind of revenue that was being generated by those would be customers.
Rather like window shopping nowadays!
Grossly overpriced stock
Glad I got out of it.
Stunning displays nevertheless to tempt those who feel the need to feed their…( what rhymes with need and feed in 5 letters..?)
Thank you, excellent video and camera work on a most beautiful collaboration of works of art ! Would have never known !
Jenni❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Q lugar mais lindo
Excellent 🎉
Encantador❤
beautiful great walk
They’re Papa Noel is certainly slim and stylish compared with Santa Claus .
Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!
J'adore Galeries Lafayette! So many forget it's just a quick jump over, or under, the water. I am curious though could you explain the gentleman cooking something on top of the trolley over a bin (?). He looked so sad, but I was more taken aback by the fire in a trolley. 😳
Excelent video.
So how many stories does this building have? I never seen so much bling in my life! Merry Christms WW!
Very impressive! Magnificent! It reminds me of the old "City of Paris" department store in San Francisco, built in the 1890s, aand very similar though smaller in size.
Too dark video 🙁
I miss you and I love you love ❤️ off City in the world 🌍🌎
thank you. as always 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I developed a migraine with aura while watching this video and had to stop. The movement was glitchy and I wondered why. 😢
Every year, the Galeries Lafayette outdoes itself in Christmas decoration, especially below this magnificent dome.
