(Last Update: 07.01.2026) In Paris, the only place where I could understand even the most level-headed woman losing control and wanting to shop wildly is probably Galeries Lafayette... Similar to YKM Boyner in Turkey, or rather, Harrods in London, Galeries Lafayette, as far as I know, was the first department store in the world to operate as such, and as you might expect, it caters more to tourists than to Parisians.
(Last Update: 08.01.2026) The reason why the Montparnasse Skyscraper, which rises from the middle of Paris and which the majority of people, including me, find ugly, is the subject of an article on Pariste.Net, is that it offers a wonderful view of Paris from its 56th floor. Yes, you can go to the terrace of Tour Montparnasse and in fine weather a magnificent view of Paris awaits you. Tour Montparnasse (tour monparnas or tuğ monpağnas) means Montparnasse Tower in French.
