The big department stores here get all dressed up for Christmas - the windows are decked out with vignettes and it is wonderful to see. Today, by chance, I wandered over by Galleries Lafayette and Printemps and voila! I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did!
The theme for Galleries Lafayette is "La Belle et La Bête" or as we know it, Beauty and the Beast. I'm not sure I quite "got" the story but it is still enchanting all the same.

Prada paired up with Printemps (like the alliteration?) to celebrate 100 years. I am not sure I quite understood the theme here either but it was also magical! The windows are all mechanized with moving parts and music (oops - more alliteration!) Not sure I got all of Printemps windows - just another reason to go back.
Now I just have to check out Bon Marchè and BHV - I will definitely take more pictures. And then there are the Christmas markets that are springing up all over town and more lights - it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We are definitely going to be busy!
