Paris- The view

One of the best views in Paris,just happens to be from the rooftop terrace of one of Paris's best department stores.  Galeries Lafayette-one department store comprised of three different buildings.  the mens's store, the Galeries gourmet and of course the main store. Also known for its beautiful glass stained ceiling and holiday displays.  We managed to arrive in time for a great sunset.  Since our visit was just after the Paris attacks, the tower was unlit but still an amazing sight. The tree this year was also an amazing work of art.


A zoom in on the Eiffel Tower.  Unlit in respect for those who died during the Paris attacks a week prior.
