Is Galeries Lafayette Rooftop worth it with kids?

Worth itWith kids

With kids, Galeries Lafayette Rooftop works.

Two payoffs in one stop: the spectacular stained-glass dome over the shop floor, then a free rooftop terrace with the Opéra, Eiffel and Sacré-Cœur on the horizon. It's a department store, so it's busy and commercial, but the view costs nothing.
