second visit to Paris in November, 2008 was my first taste of Noël in Paris. The entire façade of Galeries Lafayette was draped in lights. It was amazing. In recent years they have pared down the building lights, I would venture due to the electrical costs.

Virginia, I have seen so many fabulous photos of store windows but never before have seen Galleries Lafayette in lights. It's stunning. Sad they had to pare down; I suspect your reasoning is right. But I would remember this as a most breathtaking moment forever.
So glad that you went back to your files and pulled this one out. C'est magnifique! Hope this photo will become a Christmas "tradition".
That warrants a big ol' WOW!
What an amazing display!
Wow- since you say it's pared down lately I'm lucky to have seen just this same light festival as in your pic on my Christmas trips to Paris. It is amazing to see.
Took my breath away the first time.
