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!

Ineke said...

i thought the o la la was meant for taking a photo inside the store ;) I have been warned off several times when i did that. Happy new year to you and your loved ones!

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!

Sure, you didn't buy anything? :-)

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!

Congrats for getting away with shooting a photo! I've been warned, not so nicely, many times...!

Oh la la is oh so right!

Happy New Year! I have enjoyed your blog so much this past year! It makes me feel like I am, for a moment, in
my favorite city in the world!
Thank you!

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

Genie -- Paris and Beyond said...

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

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