光之城的光之季 Season of light in the City of Light

巴黎老佛爷百货公司

巴黎的老佛爷百货无疑是任何一个城市中最宏伟的商店之一。它不仅是一个购物的地方，也是光之城最受欢迎的目的地。在百货公司日渐衰落，整个零售业也在发生变化的时候，Galerie依然坚守着。它在金融危机、战争和现在的互联网中幸存了下来，仍然是巴黎生活中值得庆祝的一部分。像纽约的梅西百货或洛克菲勒中心一样，老佛爷百货是假日的代名词。每逢假日，商店的招牌彩色玻璃圆顶下都会装饰一棵巨大的杉树，这是巴黎人世代以来一直信奉的圣诞庆祝仪式。

Galeries Lafayette, Paris

Surely one of the grandest stores found in any city is the Galeries Lafayette in Paris. It's not just a place to shop but a destination as popular as any in the City of Light. At a time when department stores are fading and the entire retail industry is shifting, the Galerie holds fast. It has survived financial crises, wars, and now the internet, remaining a celebrated part of life in Paris. Like Macy's or Rockefeller Center in New York, the Galeries Lafayette is synonymous with the holidays. A giant fir is decorated every holiday season under the store's signature stained glass dome—a ritual of Christmas cheer that Parisians have embraced for generations.
