Fancy mall with beautiful Christmas decor during the holidays, good to visit even if you don’t plan on buying anything. If you’re looking for the men’s department it’s in the next building. It usually gets pretty crowded and it’s pretty tight, navigating around for the first time is a bit difficult. Lots of fancy, expensive brands on the first few floors. You can’t really stop and appreciate the middle part of the mall which I think is the prettiest, they have it roped off for snack kiosks where you have to pay to be seated, totally understandable on their part because if you don’t restrict access, lots of folks would stop and block the flow of traffic. I really did like the free rooftop access, the views are pretty cool, but they do close it when it gets too crowded. The souvenir shop at the top floor with the bookstore, baggage store, cafe was a good place to get last minute gifts from. Having them process your tax refund in store is very convenient too. Unless you’re here to get luxury brands from France you’re probably not going to get a good deal.
Restrooms only at 6th floor. Very limited places to sit down. Incredible architecture. Free access point of view, limited to 5 minutes, and well organised. Free access to rooftop , beautiful view at evening, to Eiffel tower direction.
Incredibly beautiful and luxury shopping mall. About 6 floors high with every brand you can think of. Lots of cafes and dessert shops as well. Cool Christmas lights during the holiday season. Very nice gift shop at the top and beautiful terrace overlooking parts of the city.
It can get very crowded, especially during peak hours and weekend.

What a piece of design, architecture and luxury- all under one roof. This place was on my list during our visit. Was super busy, before Christmas, long lineups, crazy wait times but worth it all. Some stores like Chanel may require one to register and book an appointment, while others would have lineups. Staff at all stores is well versed and speaks English. They had a beautiful skywalk setup next to the gorgeous Christmas tree for pictures; again book your time slot on the app. The stairway is another gorgeous piece of design, rightly named Stairway to Heaven. So is the gorgeous glass dome. We in North America do not see such designs and decors very often. The tax office is also in the mall, where you can validate your purchase for VAT refund. All major luxury designer brands have stores here. Terrace was closed but the floor under had a huge Christmas market. There's also clean washrooms and family rooms, I believe on the same floor. The food court offers multiple options; there's a few eateries, then open food menu, you fill your tray and then pay at the end. We also found a coffee shop, on I believe the third floor where seating time was limited due to the holiday rush. A must visit spot for all your luxury shopping under one roof in Paris!
It may be the most famous department store in Paris. The Christmas tree that goes well with the top of the ground is spectacular, and you can have a chance to see downtown Paris on the rooftop. The food at the food court is also delicious, and it is a good place to shop and relax as you can enjoy a variety of shopping with chestnut jam bought as a gift.
Beautiful shopping center that does not disappoint for the holidays! Christmas displays like I've never seen before! Offering high end shopping to tourist related focuses, Lafayette has something for everyone. At the top of the building, there are breathtaking views of the city! Food and coffee are available on most floors to keep the energy flowing!
What an absolutely stunning shop this is! Wanted to see their Christmas display as we visited some years back and it was amazing them.
Wonderful departments and a fantastic hot chocolate in the cafe.
Of course, the view from the terrace is simply awe-inspiring.
It's definitely worth a visit when in Paris!
