Located right next to the Galleries, another great place for cheap or designer clothing.
What to buy: Bourjois cosmetics. If youre american you know these cosmetics cost big bucks in the states. In Paris its really cheap! Its just as cheap as cosmetics you would by at the drug stores! This is a good gift to bring back.

Approximately one block away from the nicest department store (in my opinion), Galeries Lafayette, is another grand magasin (dept. store): Au Printemps.
It's multi-storied as Galeries Lafayette, but it doesn't have the same old-style feel and the same atmosphere. Generally Au Printemps carries the same items as Galeries Lafayette. However, the selection is not as extensive.
There are separate sections for fashions: men's, women's, children. Also there is a housewares section, accessories section, etc. All in all Printemps and Gal. Lafayette rival each other in everything.
There is also a restaurant on the sixth floor called Cafe Flo.
What to buy: You can buy anything that you would normally find in any department store worldwide. Of course, for me, the handbags are a good buy.
What to pay: Prices are average for Paris and they are similar or exactly the same as at Galeries Lafayette.

Right next to Galeries Lafayette on Blvd. Haussmann. Between the two, you could shop for days.
This huge department store occupies several buildings-- there is a separate store for men's clothes. In the main buildings you can shop for women's clothes, cosmetics, home furnishings, furniture, etc.
On the 6th floor of the Magasin de la Mode (the section of the store with women's clothing) you will find Café Flo, under the beautiful stained glass dome. This is a great place for a quick bite in the middle of your shopping spree.
What to pay: As much as your heart desires.
