After our tandoori meal at Little India in Paris, we thought we would enjoy having our desserts in the Parisian temple of upmarket shopping - the Galeries Lafayette. We have missed the soldes (sales)*, thank goodness, so there was really no shopping to be done, only to sit under the beautiful dome of the 10-storey building and have tea and macarons. And to marvel at the exquisite architectural details above our heads.
A little bit of history - this store in Boulevard Haussmann with its glass and steel dome and art nouveau staircases, was designed by Chedanne & Chanut and completed in 1912.
*Sales are state-regulated in France and generally run during two periods of the year - in summer around summer day (June/July) and after New Year's day in early January to mid February.
