About Galeries Lafayette Haussmann

Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann is a department store at 40 boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. Its domed main building dates from 1912, when it was built for the businessmen Alphonse Kahn and Théophile Bader, and the glass dome has become one of the best-known architectural landmarks in the city. The main Coupole store sells women's and children's fashion, watches and jewellery and beauty products and houses the Wellness Galerie, with a separate Men's Store and food hall alongside.

What's inside

The highlight is the stained-glass dome by master glassworker Jacques Gruber: an immense flower of 10 luminous sections covering 1,000 m², above balconies with gilded ironwork by Louis Majorelle. The dome was dismantled during the Second World War to protect passers-by from falling glass, and some numbered panels were never found, so they were replaced with plain white glass. From the 3rd floor of the Coupole store, the Glasswalk is a 9-metre glass walkway suspended 16 metres up inside the dome.

Season and crowds

The store's visit page gives opening hours of 10:00 am to 8:30 pm Monday to Saturday and 11:00 am to 8:00 pm on Sunday, with exceptional hours on some public holidays (for example 11:00 am to 8:00 pm on 11 November 2026). The rooftop terrace is open Monday to Saturday 10:00 am to 8:00 pm and on Sundays and public holidays 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, and may close temporarily in rain or strong wind. The store advises that weekday mornings are quietest and suggests avoiding Saturday afternoons in peak summer.

Tickets

Entry to the store is free, and so is the rooftop terrace on the 8th floor: according to the store, no ticket or reservation is needed and it is open to all visitors daily during store hours. The Glasswalk inside the dome is different: it must be booked online by choosing a date and time slot. Each visit lasts 5 minutes with at most 8 people per slot, and the slot may be shared with other customers. Arrive 10 minutes before your booked time, because late arrivals lose their booking.

Photography

The rooftop terrace is the main viewpoint. On a clear day it looks south to the Eiffel Tower, directly across boulevard Haussmann to the Opéra Garnier, north to the Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre and over the rooftops to Notre-Dame, with the glass dome below. The store recommends coming about one hour before sunset for golden-hour light and photos of the Eiffel Tower. Inside, the Glasswalk is promoted as the place for a souvenir photo under the dome.
