Stylish Christmas shopping at Galeries Lafayette

The flagship of French fashion, Galeries Lafayette, is THE shopping destination of the French capital. Stroll around and discover unique items beneath the stunning Art Deco dome. And for Christmas 2020, the iconic department store is going all out! Starting with a giant, multicoloured Christmas tree: a heart-warming sight that invites you to come in and look for the perfect gift. The Christmas selection is “on-trend”, with Off-White trainers, the hottest streetwear brand for men and women. It is also responsible, with brands like Patagonia, Cuisse de Grenouille and Nilai jewellery. But this year more than ever, we want to take care of those we love: innovative beauty products, exceptional fragrances and green cosmetics. On the ground floor, you’ll discover a world dedicated entirely to pleasure.

Don’t forget to stop off at Lafayette Maison: Pipistrello lamps, Absolument Maison single-stem vases, and Le Creuset pots… there are gifts to suit all tastes and budgets. For little ones, Christmas at Galeries Lafayette will take you back to your childhood days: Lego sets, Vilac wooden toys, Moulin Roty cuddly toys, board games… this year’s festivities are set to be lively! Make the most of your trip and reach for the skies as you walk along the Glasswalk, the 9-metre-long footbridge suspended 16 metres in mid-air. An exceptional experience to be enjoyed from the 3rd floor of the main shop, where you can admire more than 120 years of history, elegance and the French art de vivre. Magical!
