After visiting Thailand and Singapore earlier this year we found it interesting to see some of the malls and shopping centers in other countries. Because many people come from all over the world to visit the city and potentially buy souvenirs the malls can be very elaborate. Considering how big fashion is in Paris in particular we expected shopping to be a large part and chose to stop by this shopping center. It is a multistory department store with a very intricate central roof that many people often photograph. During the holidays they have a large central Christmas tree that adds another layer of festivity. While there and browsing around we discovered that they also had a rooftop terrace which we did not previously know about. The terrace is free to access and provides a nice view of the city without as much crowds as other viewpoints of the city. They also have a small ice skating rink on the roof as well for those who want to skate with a view. If you happen to be in the area this is a good option to get a panoramic view without having to pay any additional cost. We went during the middle of the day and were only there with around 10-15 other people which was hard to believe compared to other viewpoints we had been at such as the Arc de Triomphe. If you are in Paris you definitely need to take in the shopping experiences even if it is not your style and this should be on your list of places to check out!
