Everything in one place . You shop the best brands . The ceiling is beautiful . There is a restaurant with great menu . On the top of the store you can have a fresh air while watching the wonderful Paris scenery .

All fashion brands are in here. We even bought a luggage from the 4th floor to keep our new stuff! There is... More

Perfume and money...strong smells and stronger prices. Well worth a look, but bring your wallet, very high end except for oil barons! Nice gourmet area on bottom floor...very professional staff.
