Galaries Lafayette is for the tourists, Printemps is for locals.
Both are huge department stores spread over several buildings located across each other on Boulevard Haussman. Both choose to deny each other's existence. Both provide maps to tourists and both maps conveniently leave out their competitor (in place of competitor is an empty plot of land, how is that possible on prime shopping real estate??)
But I prefer Printemps, because of their cafe, located at the top floor of the store that comes with a gorgeous rose window ceiling.
The right orangey ball is not my fat finger, it's an orange floating ball at the cafe.
