Galeries Lafayette (!)

Our last exploring/touring day in Berlin was entirely en pied, walking first from our apartment down Chausseestrasse and Friedrichstrasse, across the river, past Unter den Linden, to the Galeries Lafayette department store. In terms of size, it's not KaDeWe, nor is it even close to the grand magasin on Boulevard Haussmann. But hey, it's French, and the food hall was wonderfully French, an island in a sea of kraut and wurst and rye. 



Looking up into the cupola from the ground floor;
sort of reminiscent of the grand cupola at Haussmann,
only not very high and definitely not Art Nouveau

And down to the food hall; sort of reminiscent of the rain vortex
at the Jewel at Changi airport; sort of...in the dry season maybe

But, hey! we're in France!

Sort of


Individual quiche and salad, with little oil bottle

Is Bonne Maman challenging Nutella?

Did not travel well, but, hey!

The moutarde famine continues, even unto Allemagne

But hey!

Ahhh! A little touch of France anywhere makes my day! Bonne Maman Nutella? What will they think of next?
