Galeries Lafayette, Art Nouveau department store in Haussmann District, Paris, France.

The Galeries Lafayette features a 33-meter-high glass and steel dome with intricate metalwork and detailed Neo-byzantine decorative elements throughout its ten floors.

Architects Georges Chedanne and Ferdinand Chanut completed the construction of the department store in 1912, incorporating an innovative metal framework covered in stone.

The department store organizes seasonal window displays that showcase French craftsmanship through mechanical figures, fashion pieces, and decorative arrangements.

The rooftop restaurant on the seventh floor provides access to outdoor dining spaces and observation points overlooking central Paris landmarks.

In 1919, pilot Jules Védrines executed a landing with his biplane on the 800-square-meter terrace of the Galeries Lafayette building.
