World's Largest Shoe Store


Could life be any better for a woman living in Paris? All that French cuisine, breathtaking art, the Eiffel tower, amazing shopping and now housing the world's largest shoe store.  Here I thought a shoe store with its own area code was a huge deal, but now that has been trumped. Galeries Lafayette is a well-known French department store. The store itself is a little hard to miss when in Paris due to the fact that it is 10 stories high.  Galeries Lafayette decided in July 2009 to expand into the woman's shoe market, so they created a 34,500 square foot shoe store. It carries 150 brands, 75 of those brands are exclusive to Galeries Lafayette. They carry all shoe styles all year round, so just in case you're heading to northern Sweden in the middle of summer and  require boots, go to Galeries Lafayette and you can by boots at the start of summer! 


Added to their shoe store they offer an artisan cobbler, a foot salon specializing in pedi's and a specialty care store that sells special brushes, shoe creams in a variety of colours and foot care products. HEAVEN! Now I want to go to Paris even more.

I went to Paris just a little while ago and walked into the shoe store. It was very overwhelming. I love shoes to the bitter end but I was even speechless. Too much to look at in my opinion but it was gorgeous. You should definitely make a trip to Paris to at least see it. I am sure you would be in heaven! Great Post :)
