This year’s Christmas theme is ‘Le Plus Beau des Cadeaux’, imagined in collaboration with illustrator Jeanne Detallante. The windows will be transformed into living tableaux, retracing the great story of Santa Claus. From busy elves to baby elephants and ducks in boots, the magic will be at work in every corner of the shop windows. And under the mythical Cupola, the giant 16m Christmas tree is sure to impress visitors. 8km of LED garlands, 560kg of ribbons and 300kg of fabric will adorn it with a thousand lights. A magical stroll, not to be missed on the eve of the festive season. On Galeries Lafayette Rooftop, an ephemeral 176m2 skating rink will soon be installed, with a synthetic track designed to offer a unique sliding experience, while respecting the environment.
