Galeries Lafayette Haussmann & rooftop

Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann (Coupole)

Shop under the gilded dome, then the free rooftop view

Hours

Mon–Sat 10:00–20:30, Sun 11:00–20:00; the roof generally follows store hours (varies with season and weather)

Tickets

Free (roof terrace and Glasswalk free; the Glasswalk needs a booking)

Address

40 Boulevard Haussmann, 9th arr., right behind the Palais Garnier

Inside the main store, tier upon tier of curved balconies rise to a stained-glass dome, and more people photograph the dome than shop the luxury floor beneath it. The Glasswalk, a glass bridge jutting into the dome, needs a free booking on the official site. Ride the escalators to the top and you come out on a roof terrace with a clear view from the Palais Garnier roof next door to the Eiffel Tower. No ticket, no booking, so it is worth a stop even if you don't shop.
