A major urban commercial centre of Paris is the Haussmann-Saint-Lazare-Opéra district. Here you can find a multitude of superb shops, in addition to a couple of department stores boasting an international reputation. With over a hundred years of superior service, Galeries Lafayette has turned shopping into an art form. It’s a beautiful building housing the latest fashions, large luxury brands, home décor and much more. Not far away is Printemps, another venerable Parisian institution where the accent is on luxury and upscale fashion brands.
