Tourism and Shopping in Paris: The Galeries Lafayette

The Galeries Lafayette is without doubt the most beautiful shopping mall in Paris. The department store is globally famous for its jaw-dropping art nouveau architecture and stunning window displays during the Christmas season. Loved by both locals and tourists alike, the Galeries Lafayette is a fun place to visit. No Paris shopping trip is complete without at least a visit to the Galeries Lafayette. This is the ultimate Paris shopping experience.

What to do and see in the Jardin des Plantes

There are so many beautiful gardens and parks in Paris. This isn’t my first article about a Parisian garden; I’ve written entire posts about the Luxembourg garden, the Palais Royal garden, the Monceau park and the Buttes Chaumont park. Today, I am writing about one of the best kid-friendly gardens in Paris: the “Botanical garden” (“Jardin des Plantes”), located in the 5th arrondissement. If I there’s one Parisian garden with tons of things to do for kids (and adults too!), it’s undoubtedly the Botanical garden. It is a perfect place for a family day out.
