Galeries Lafayette, Paris

The two most famous Paris department stores are on Boulevard Haussman, on the Seine river right bank.

The Galeries Lafayette, at number 40, and Le Printemps, at number 64,  compete fiercely to attract Parisian and international shoppers.

They sell large assortments of tableware, fashion, perfume, lingerie and jewels and attract crowds of French and international shoppers.

We recommend too Le Bon Marche department store.

Le Bon Marche (right) on the left bank is lesser known. Smaller, high end, very Parisian, it specializes in fashion. It is a perfect place for quiet shopping.
