This overview was SUPERB!!!!!! Thank You for the tour. This will help me figure out which stores I want to visit when I go to Paris.
Glad it was helpful 🙂
❤ i love Paris.❤❤❤
So do I, I can tell you 😉🙂😉
Me too!! 🤗 Wish I could go back soon. Loved meeting all those wonderful Parisiennes.
Have just got back to 🇦🇺 from 🇫🇷. I loved my France visit. Galeries Lafayette is my favourite department store. Have visited about 5 times now. Brought back Guerlain perfume and my daughter loves it. My handshake goes out to the lovely ladies on the Guerlain counter. Thx for reminding me of this wonderful visit. 😊
I'm very happy that you loved Paris, coming from down under.
Hope you'll be back for another visit here! 🙂
I so hope so. Have visited France 5 times now. Could easily revisit. Love the land and the people. 🇦🇺🇫🇷
Another great video! Thank you! I do so miss the beautiful department stores from my childhood - they are like a rare species in the US now.
Thanks for the comment
It's true in Paris too. There used to be many more!
For shopping, I'd prefer the Galeries Lafayette, but I really like the atmosphere at Le Bon Marché, and the huge variety of products you can find at La Grande Epicerie.
Thanks for your feedback...
Only knew 3 of the stores , thanks for the video will visit the rest of them
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting 🙏🇫🇷
It's my pleasure
Wow 🤩! Thank you for making this video…
Glad you liked it!
I can’t wait to be there. I love what has been done in ter of renovation. Galeries Lafayette to me is a must and this year we added le bon marché. Which incidentally means « the good deal ». My mom never shopped there. All very expensive. Quels beaux magasins . Merci pour une autre belle vidéo. 🇫🇷 🇺🇸
They did great renovations in almost every Department Store. That's the way to keep appealing to customers...
Lots of helpful information for future tourist like me.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for your review of these BEYOND LEGENDARY department stores, which are the epitome of the Parisian and French love for high quality and variety. I do admit that I was stunned at the Grande Épicerie - a paradise for culinary enthusiasts !! :)
Good food is so much important for us French. Grande Épicerie is a paradise for foodies!🙂
They opened a Printemps in Denver right after the late 80s oil bust. It was gorgeous but missed the mark by a year. I was so sorry to see it close almost immediately
Yes, they opened Printemps shops in quite a few countries then. Now there is only one left out of France, in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
Hi and thank you so much for your videos. I am watching them and really enjoying seeing Paris. You do a wonderful job of narrating and I really appreciate the effort it takes to film and edit these great videos. Thanks again so much and I will watch and comment!
You're welcome!🙏
It's always a pleasure receiving nice comments, it's rewarding!
@@paristoptips you deserve the comments! You have a great channel - Congratualtiosn!
I still have the pair of wool socks that I bought from Printemps in 2001. Yes, I was stuck in Paris during 9/11 because the flights were grounded. It was getting cold, so I went in and got the socks. I wish I knew about the grand epicerie at Bon Marche when I was last there in summer 2019. We stumbled upon the store after getting caramels at Jaques Genin.
These department stores are a important part of the Parisian lifestyle
@@paristoptips Yes. Thank you. Now I have a reason to go to Paris again. 🙂
You never fail to create an excellent presentation! You are thorough,you take the time to list the items in an orderly manner, an give us time to absorb what we are viewing! We also get to see various items used in a number of different outfits! Simply wonderful! Thank you! I'm a huge fan and never miss your uploads!
Thank you so much for these nice comments. They go directly to my heart 🙏
I truly enjoy the information you have given as well as the responses from your viewers! Going there to France for the 5th time, will definitely visit at least one if not two. Merci beaucoup
You're welcome 🤗
I hope you have a great time in Paris !
Beautiful video!! I may not go shopping IN them, but at least I'll know what these beautiful buildings are when we go by them! Thank you!
With great pleasure 🙏
Good and thorough job again!!
Thank you so much!
I went there one month ago
Thank you for showing me again I enjoyed 👏🏻
With pleasure 🙏
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
You're welcome! 🙏
thank you so much for your great video. I especially love your accent!
Thanks! I'm not sure I would say that I love my accent, though 😂
The best again!❤
Then, thanks again!
Another informative and amusing video, Blessings.
Glad you enjoyed it
I didn't realize Printemps had that little food court. Thanks! I usually visit the one at Galeries Lafayette. I have to say, I was overwhelmed by the high prices at Bon Marche--clearly priced for that neighborhood. I've always felt G.L. was the most reasonably priced (although I only buy clothes at C&A, which is really cheap!)
Printemps went through a complete redesign some years ago, and the result is very interesting.
And, yes, Bon Marché has quite high prices!
I’m looking forward to visiting Le Samaritan again. Was last there about 30 years ago. If I remember correctly, I think they had an observation deck overlooking the city.
Great, in-depth video as I love Printemps & Galleries!
30 years ago, it was a very different Samaritaine than it is today.
And the place where the observation deck was is no longer part of La Samaritaine, but of the 5-star hotel - Cheval Blanc - that they built here on the Seine...
@@paristoptips merci! I look forward to revisiting the Samaritan’s sans observation deck this year! We will be staying in the 12th a. this time; a new part of the city to explore (though we have been to Bercy Village before).
@@stephanievacek7469 In the 12th, be sure to visit the Place d'Aligre market: it's great!
@@paristoptips I will add that to our itinerary. Merci beaucoup!
Magnifique promenade parmi les Grands Magasins Parisiens
Difficile de choisir , Ils sont tous beaux - Super reportage
Merci beaucoup, Mireille !🙏
Great video. I plan to visit the Galleria Layfayette on my first day in Paris. Looks like they have a great wine shop. 🍷 I’m also going to try to find the rooftop view opposite of the Palais Garnier.
I hope you have a great trip!🙂
Fabulous peek into these impressive department stores. Great to see the grand historical architectural details are well maintained. One question - when is/are the sales period and do they happen at the same time with all the stores??
Sales are in January and in July (June 28-July 25 this year), at the same date for every shop in France.
@@paristoptips Merci!
Très beau reportage. Mon préféré reste le BHV
Merci. Quand on à une âme de créatrice, le BHV, c'est un peu le paradis !
Thank you for this great video ❤
With great pleasure 🙏
You didn't do the 7th floor rooftop of Galeries Lafayette it's terrace and restaurant, best free view in Paris...
Oui c’est vrai çant miss That
It was closed on the day I filmed. Yes, nice view, though I prefer the one from Printemps, as it's not obstructed by the massive Opera 😂
This video has been one of the most important in helping me plan my trip in November 😃. One thing that is missing: opening hours! I read somewhere that Lafayette is closed on Sundays. Is this true? Thanks for your content!
Glad it was helpful!
It is open on Sundays, in fact every day, from10 AM to 8:30PM
What are the hours of operation ? Thank you
10 AM to 8 PM or 8:30PM
I prefer (je reste) Printemps.
My own favorite...
26:41 looks like you just bought a dji pocket from Lafayette
😁 Nice guess... I've been using DJI Pocket 1 & 2 ever since they were available... Great gear for vloging!
@@paristoptips I recall I just bought a DJI Osmo before my first trip to France but didn't know how to use it, when I was at Lafayette and wanted to take some footage since it's so beautiful, I saw there's a DJI counter with their products, I tried to ask a staff working there on how to use it, but he was so annoyed and snobbish because I didn't make any purchase there and I can't speak French. Now I have pocket 2 and plan to visit Paris soon
That's one of the drawbacks you might have in Paris: snobbish staff who couldn't care less!
🇮🇹🤝🏻🇫🇷
Forza Italia 😁
Good informative video, but u pass by everything too fast. The beautiful fashion, baked goods, men's clothing, and the furniture we can not appreciate. We may never get over there - so it would be great to appreciate them. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏
I know that I don't spend much time on everything, but I take this video as a teaser to make people come and visit, rather than an exhaustive video, that the large majority of viewers on RUclips will not consider interesting.
How were they able to preserve those domes during WW2? Wow. It's all too much. Too decadent and tres tres materialistique!! ANd I am surprised no one has yet jumped from those balconies and try and commit suicide??
There were only 12 bombings over Paris during WWII.
