Department store display windows; delightful daydreams

It’s a much-loved custom that has delighted generations of Parisians.

The little ones love these portals into charming worlds where characters come to life, while adults are amazed by the technical skills and originality of these veritable works of art. This December, the Galeries Lafayette and Bon Marché await you with their sublime creations.

 

Illuminations welcome you to the City of Light

Paris at Christmas is the most romantic city in the world, a riot of spellbinding illuminations. Enjoy the festive atmosphere with your partner or family!
