Paris chic - les vêtements de Galeries Lafayette


While photographing the Galeries Lafayette Christmas tree,
I took a little shot in my favorite, almost-affordable, department. 

Oh la la!

    Thanks for taking the risk, and photographing inside places like this. They should be happy that you did.
    More people might want to go shopping at "Galeries Lafayette"

    A wonderful blog, full of inspiration!

    Different attitudes at different departmant stores. Lafayette, no problem, Bon Marché, three guards will runt into you if you try (which I did anyway)....! :-)

    Happy New year! Nice to know that you soon will be back, for another shop inventory!

  18. And . . . which did you buy? I can see you in that spotted jacket.

  19. Veronique, I will look when I visit next week. I am usually trying to sneak the shot (each trip!) to note the name. I have posted on this same department before -- will get the name.

    Ineke, I am very careful and snap quickly. They watch you like a hawk in the famous shoe department, and will quickly "non" if you lift a camera to a shooting position.

    Armchair Parisian, I said "almost" affordable, hehehe.

    Peter, I have actually taken some nice shots in Bon Marché, but not in the food hall. I am partial to the hat department!

    Jack, yes, I had my eye on that spotted jacket... très cher!

    Bonne année!

    Bises,
    Genie

  20. I thought these were vintage clothes. Retro must be in.
