Awesome Lafayette Galleries, Paris

My first trip abroad that too to my dream destination it was all a "Dream come True" for me .....
I will write about the Paris experience in a separate blog, this space I want to use only for describing about the Awesome Lafayette Galleries as there is so much to speak about this wonderful shopping mall.

We were put up in Accor Hotels and we took  the subway from most probably Place D' Clichy and got down at Haussmann Saint Lazare .We came out of the subway and could see the palatial Lafayette Galleries.I had seen shopping around in the US too but this experience was toatlly different.


  We entered the mall and looked up the ceiling was dome shaped and all carved in golden cut glass most probably. We were 6 of us and we were all lost in awe to enter this palatial mall.
It was 10-storied flagship store ,which was impossible for us to cover up in a day.Besides that we reached the mall only by 6.00PM in the evening and in Paris all the shopping areas gets closed do
wn by 7.00 PM.
We decided to have a quick browse through all that would be possible for us within that short time.
In simple words it was breathtaking.

We started off with the perfume section and each one of us got lost in one brand or the other Chanel, Burberry,YVSL, etc etc , you name it they got it obviously.Suddenly I turn back and I don't find anyone at all. We were fresh in college at that time and our first trip abroad dint even have our cell phones.It was really frightening about how to find my friends.Somehow we were able to find each other and then we decided that we will quickly glance through the fabric, leather shoes and bags section. Each section in itself looked like a mall. We checked out the awesome fabrics ready to stitch etc. etc...
By this time it was already 7.00 PM and we were forced to be out of the mall as it closes down by 7.00 PM.


After that we took the sub to the one and only the best Eiffel Tower at night. I dont understand why God had created Paris so beautifully , infact everything about Paris is so enchanting He could have distributed some of these beautiful things in some other locations too....
Eiffel Tower at night is awesome with the blinking lights and the orchestrated lights in the Eiffel tower.
We had one of our friend's b'day and we celebrated her bday at the top of Eiffel "lucky her" imagine "Bday at the top of Eiffel" one couldn't ask for more.
The cool breeze,the moonlit sky,awesome Paris at night WOW...!!!!!
