Although we shopped at Galerie de Lafayette, the palatial dome and ceiling at the center of the shopping floor is what is special about the mall.

There was over a 40 minute wait in line at Longchamp to make a purchase. The Vietnam rice paddy vingnette on a few Longchamp bags were really intricate and quite beautiful.

We waited for 10 minutes for macarons at Pierre Hermes.

Elie Saab had a special launch on a new fragrance and a haute couture dress on display.
