Review on the Run: Galeries LaFayette (5 out of 5)

If there is one department store you could go to in the world, make it Galaries Lafayette in Paris. Not only can you browse the latest fashions, toys, accessories, you can also see a free fashion show (you can reserve seats by sending them an email). The fashion show took place in their top floor lounge. Chloe loved it, and even daddy enjoyed the show -- though he didn't know where to put his eyes when the models came with see-through tops :) This place is huge. And gorgeous. So beautiful it puts Harrods to shame. Even if you don't shop, just come and soak up the ambience and look at the soaring ceilings and gold plated ornate decorations. The kids enjoyed the expensive toys. We enjoyed the huge food hall. We were half expecting to be snubbed because of our lovely tourist look, but the service wasn't bad. It could be because of the "Les Enfants" effect.
