Galeries Lafayette is a French department store chain. Each storefront looks decisively different. That's why I have a tip for this in Paris, Nice, and here in Lyon.
What to buy: All I planned to buy on this particular outing was some scented soap for Grandma Atkins. I found just that at the Galleries Lafayette department store, scented in vanilla, chocolate, and orange vanilla.
What to pay: Everything that Luc and I bought seemed to be reasonably priced.

We noticed all over France, and particularly in Lyon, that candy shops go crazy with amazing and tempting displays. This one demanded we stop and take a picture! My son has an unquenchable sweet tooth...if he'd seen a place like this around age 8, he'd have gone wild.
What to buy: Actually, I did stop at a lovely toy store in Vieux Lyon and bought some of those dear little elastic-stringed wooden toys -- with square bodies and arms and legs you can move into multiple positions because of the elastic string which runs through the body. They have made great touches to tuck into baby shower gifts. This was just down the street from the Guignol Puppet Museum.
