We had a few things left to see on our checklist. We headed to Les Galleries Lafayette (The Lafayette is a luxury department store. It has a colorful dome and smells as sweet as a thick fashion magazine. Imagine their logo with the “tt” forming an Eiffel Tower). The Lafayette’s rooftop is recommended in several guidebooks as a location from which to look out over the city.
Decked out with artificial turf and modern chairs and love seats, this summit offered a supreme view of the Opera and Eiffel Tower, among other sights. After running all over to see sights, it was nice to see Paris from this quiet terrace.
Additionally, in these fancy parts, the street performers are equally refined; there are no breakdancers or jugglers or mimes. Instead, we listen to expertise from a gleaming piano. The Lancome ad featuring Julia Roberts (that we see all over town) that declares: “La vie est belle” seems indisputable as we listen to this music.
