If you're after the must-visit shopping destination in Paris, head to the 60 avenue des Champs-Elysées for a unique experience in France. At this address lies an authentic, reinvigorated department store, both anchored in Paris's history and firmly oriented toward the future.
From the façade, your eye is drawn to the lines of this sumptuous Art Deco heritage building. Fully transformed by the world‑renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and his firm BIG, the venue offers a striking architectural fusion where historic stone converses with modern glass and light structures. Walking through its four floors during your shopping feels like a journey through time to 1927, when Théophile Bader, founder of the Galeries Lafayette, imagined at this site a hybrid space blending retail, lifestyle, and entertainment.
This vision has today come to life to offer you a seamless shopping experience. If you’re on the hunt for a distinctive fragrance signature or a rare piece to bring back from your travels, the beauty space is an unmissable showcase. The perfumery stands out with an exquisitely curated selection of exceptional maisons and niche scents that embody and carry forward the savoir-faire and French elegance.
On the first and second floors, the Galeries Lafayette Champs-Elysées also hosts more than 300 designers’ brands; the most coveted names on the French and international scene. Timeless luxury meets rising labels, cutting-edge leatherware, and limited editions: a fashion and lifestyle curation that provides a comprehensive panorama of today’s creativity.
The shop keeps evolving, welcoming throughout the year a range of pop-ups. This summer, a particularly mouthwatering surprise awaits you until August 24: the iconic Bachir Ice Cream House is setting up its summer quarters in the atrium. The perfect opportunity to savor their renowned organic ice creams coated with crushed pistachios, a true Paris institution.
Your experience of the art of living continues at the Food Court, a gourmet grocery where masterful chocolates and sweet and savory counters offer a moment of respite before you head back to stroll the streets of the French capital. Finish your visit at the souvenir shop, to treat your loved ones and bring home a little piece of Paris.
More than a mere shopping destination, the Galeries Lafayette Champs-Elysées establish themselves as an indispensable aesthetic and sensory stop, open from Monday to Sunday to let you vibrate to the rhythm of Paris today.
