At Christmas, on Boulevard Haussmann, the magic doesn't walk... it skates! From December 1, 2025, to January 4, 2026, Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann is playing its coolest card of the season: a pop-up ice rinkon the rooftop. 160 m² of ice, a picture-postcard view of the Paris skyline, and the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the background.
Here, skating is eco-friendly—no ice, but sensations close to the real thing. You take a run-up, spin around, skid (a little), and savor the thrill of Paris from above.Reservations are required, and you'll need to budget a little if you're coming with your family: expect to pay €16 for 30 minutes for an adult and €7.50 per child.

And while we head up to the roof, downstairs, the department store unveils its theme for the year: The most beautiful gifts. With animated window displays, decorations, and a monumental Christmas tree, Galeries Lafayetteis turning our heads—and our skates—for Christmas 2025!
