GALERIES LAFAYETTE PARIS HAUSSMANN
After a day out shopping for the season's latest trends, what could be better than the serenity and comfort of the Wellness Galerie? It dedicates almost 3,000 m2 of space to well-being, beauty and sport on the lower ground floor of the Coupole (or “dome”) area. Enjoy a soothing massage, discover the benefits of an infrared sauna detox at Belleyme and treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure at Gloss'up. You might close your relaxation experience with a visit to the Beauty Store, or stop off for a healthy and tasty bite to eat at the DS café, before you get back to your tour of the Galeries Lafayette.
Looking for some gourmet food to tantalise your taste buds? Le Gourmet at Galeries Lafayette is the perfect place!
Every day at Les Tables du Gourmet, chefs, renowned pastry specialists, artisans and other famous professionals celebrate the art of dining and the very best that French gastronomy has to offer, in an area stretching out over almost 4,500 m2. Another of the store's key locations, La Cave, is simply unmissable for anyone who loves wine. It boasts the finest selection of bordeaux in the world. Delicatessens from around the world also showcase a range of delicious flavours. As the art of chocolate-making is another important part of France's gastronomic expertise, top names in artisanal chocolate-making, such as Alain Ducasse, Jean-paul Hévin, Pierre Marcolini, Louis Fouquet, Alleno & Rivoire and La Maison du Chocolat, delight even the most demanding of connoisseurs with their most indulgent creations.
Last but not least, a visit to a place as special as Galeries Lafayette would not be complete without one more exclusive experience.
Don't miss your chance to see a 30-minute catwalk show, as this is the perfect opportunity to discover the season's must-have trends by the biggest names in fashion. Alternatively, gastronomy aficionados can try their hand at pastry-making and bake some macarons, or do a cookery workshop with a chef from Paris' prestigious Ferrandi school.
What a great opportunity to learn the techniques and secrets behind traditional French gourmet desserts!
It is evocative experiences like these which make the Galeries Lafayette a uniquely Parisian day out.
