We went into Galeries Lafayette because my five-year-old had to go to the bathroom, and this potty…read morestop took something like 40 minutes. (Weirdly, this is my second time Yelping a Galeries Lafayette solely because of its bathroom.) My mom took my son to pee while I hung out downstairs with his brother, a loopy three-year-old on vacation mode and California time. He was briefly asleep in his stroller when we parted with the bathroom crew, but awake and ready to party by the time I saw them get on the escalator. I tried to admire the Jerome Dreyfuss bags and other nice merchandise set out on the department store's main floor, but mostly I kept my child from running into people while he danced. The place was mobbed during Christmas season, and the line for the bathroom was apparently ludicrous, long and slow-moving. I was counting the minutes and it felt like we were waiting for hours. Anyway, if you want to shop at a big department store in Strasbourg, I'm sure Galeries Lafayette is the place to go. If all you need is a bathroom, perhaps there are better options.

Decorated for "Black Week", it was awesome to get to see Galeries Lafayette so amazingly ready for…read morethe Christmas holiday season. Window displays with Christmas themed set ups and moving dolls and such. Quite clever, almost New York's Macy's. Inside, I took the opportunity to walk the entire store. Typical department store though very tidy and very neat. Bedroom, kitchen, outerwear, menswear, shoes, handbags, cosmetics. Prices? Well, they're expensive. Of that, there is no doubt.

It's so great to be able to zip over the French border and buy French groceries. This place is like…read morea Mini Super Walmart. Only with classy people and products. We go here for the groceries. Although I love the German grocery stores, some things are just better in France, especially the dairy products and fish. The butter from Brittany actually smalls like a cow! And their Quark (fromage blanc) can be had whipped with creme fraiche. The fish selection is amazing. And I like to get steak tartare vacuum packed that comes with a delicious sauce. Of course if you're looking for French wines, they've got them. Merci, Cora!

We love the French youghurts, pastries, canned tunas and sardines, cured meats, breads, beers (I actually enjoy French beers on the same level as the weisens in Germany). They have a large selection of wines, ciders, and beer (yes Globus carries more beers). They operate a wine sale tent (case sale) in the October-November timeframe. We love eating at their cafe/restaurant. It offers a pizza /beer combo and an "American Sandwich" - really a double oval cheeseburger on a baguette with a huge mountain of crispy tasty French fries. The later feeds two people with leftovers - seriously. Cora is definitely worth the trip from Germany to explore culinary options.

I agree with other reviewers, the staff is rude and I've been at this location a few times.

Couldn't give a crap if I was there or not. Very rude especially during the Christmas market and plenty of visitors.

I got in and out in less than 10 minutes, which is likely the shortest time I've ever spent in Monoprix. The women's department appeared disheveled so I didn't seriously look for any clothes. While the hair/makeup/lotion are was incredibly well organized and stocked, I found their selection limiting. However, they nearly have an entire aisle of facial tissues! Probably wouldn't go back but I did get what I needed.

Classic German department store chain. It's pretty basic and not very exciting (which I suppose…read morevery few department stores are really). You can definitely find bargains though. However the only thing I bought here was a second suitcase (in a very cute pink hue) so I could fit all the mymuesli-mueslis and tea I had bought. You know, the really important stuff in life. Friendly service.
