Turned out to be much, much hotter in Bordeaux than we had packed for.......enter Galeries…read moreLafayette Women & men have 2 separate stores just like in Paris so we visited each......while one would not find the haute couture brands like one finds in Paris, there were more than plenty other temptations. The Mr found shorts that did the trick, in fashionable, wearable linen. I found some super comfy Geox sparklie walking sandals which suited much better than the hot trainers I brought along Filled out the tax free forms & we were back on our way to walk about & enjoy the summery day

Hubby and I were strolling through Rue St. Catherine when we decided to check out Galeries…read moreLafayette. It was lightly raining that day, and I wanted to buy a scarf to keep me warm. I ended up buying two scarfs! Everything in the store was neatly organized and so appealing. It reminded me of a Nordstrom or Macy's back in the states with their perfume counters and clothing displays. Reasonable prices too. Loved it!
