==== ABOUT LES FRENCHIES ====
After 32 years in the US, the Duponts moved to France where Antoine was born. Antoine is rediscovering his homeland and sharing it with his American wife Colleen. With the help of his brother Vincent, a renowned Restaurateur (and food snob).
They are on a quest to find the best France has to offer.
There are over 35,000 villages in France, all with their own history, culture, and food. We are on a journey to discover as many of them as we can together. Let’s go.

Inside the gourmet food hall across from Galeries Mens is a bakery that has wonderful chocolate bread. My husband makes a beeline for this place every time we're in Paris.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel I don't remember the name, but after you go in the main entrance (on the corner, street level), head to the left near the front of the store, and it's there (if it's still in operation). It's not a large place, and there are usually carts of bread (all kinds) standing behind the main counter. I hope you find it.
My god!! How do both look this beautiful at this age...!
Yes! Hire a fashion consultant and share videos of the consultations, we will have so much to learn, at least one consultation per season, I love, love your videos and 💡 ideas.😊
Been to Paris 7 times this year and I never get enough. Thanks for the great videos and resources!
You guys are amazing. I would NEVER have visited Galeries Lafayette (department store in Paris - why?) --- but now I can't wait. I'm back in Paris in 89 days (who's counting) and this is on my must-do list. Colleen - you crack me up. A dozen striped shirts? That's how I shop. You just made it cool. Thanks for another awesome video! My Saturday treat!
I've been watching and rewatching your videos ever since I booked my Paris trip. We just returned home a couple days ago. I was sure I saw you, Antoine, while I was picking up a few souvenirs on the 6th floor.. Now I know it was you! Thank you for all the videos! I'm already planning my next visit!
Great video. I always used to recommend to my friends, that they get there when it opens, and go straight to the top floor.
Grab a croissant and coffee, and you have the whole view to yourself for about an hour til everyone wakes up and it gets crowded.
They always thank me, and show their pictures later. What a spot, It’s like the Grand Canyon, impossible to take a bad picture.
I’m not sure if the cafe is still there. It’s been a while.
Another Saturday, another gem! You guys, thank you so much, so give me so much joy! 🤍 And so much excitement for our upcoming trip! Happy Saturday!
I n Union u
Awesome video! Merci bien!:)
Thank you for pointing out the three buildings! Very helpful. And thanks for showing the caviar bar, the new wellness floor and where to get your tax refund.
Planning to go scouting there after the school holidays and BEFORE the January sales! Youve given me two good ideas.
1) Shop for socks in the men's section (most socks in women's section go to only US
7 1/2,-8 FR 38)
2) START at the top instead of the bottom because I'd be "fresher" in the places where I'd be more likely to buy
M wife adn I went to Paris in December of 2017. We went to Galeries Lafayette and found it amazing. Very beautiful decorations and windows. Paris is wonderful in December.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your shopping in Paris. Fantastic.

Just got back from Paris last week (3 Dec-10 Dec 2022). Thank you for your videos they were useful and we even stayed at your recommendation Le Vert Galant. Their restaurant was outstanding. Park across street to eat in and with public restrooms. Corvisart metro uphill and Gobelins metro downhill. Near both stations are grocers and convivence stores open late. The boulangerie on the way to the Corvisart station (Boulangerie L'Essentiel ) was excellent for breakfast. Nice open air market between the boulangerie and Corvisart metro. I went to Paris because my parents worked in airlines and they always wanted to go to France but instead chose to raise a family. They recently passed on. I made memorial wooden nickels and hid them all around Paris...in churches, museums, the Metro, Christmas markets, and Galerires Lafayette. My dad was carpenter too so I hid some in the Compagnon buildings and bookstores. We found, somehow with a the help of a nice gentleman at the Denfert-Rochereau metro station, a Metro card that works for the week, unlimited rides, in all zones 1-5 which got us to the Chateau Versailles (round trip) and the return trip to CDG airport. I bought it on Monday as recommended. The Metro phone app was very helpful but you have still check maps and other cues. We were at the Arc de Triomphe (pay the 13e and go to the top) and the app wanted me to take three different lines--instead just simply taking the #6 line straight to Corvisart. I concur with using French as much as possible because the effort made was received warmly. I also concur with the comfortable shoes. We averaged 11 miles a day easily. We flew Icelandair which was not expensive at all. We flew to Paris with all our clothes in carry-on and one empty checked bag each. We did all our Christmas shopping in Paris and I stocked my French art du trait books (Compagnon Bookstore near Eglise Saint Gervais by the Seine) and my wine cellar--barely made the luggage weight limits coming home. So worth it. Lastly, absolutely stop, smell roses, be Paris, breath Paris, and just be in Paris. I tossed the itinerary out when we found that open air market and just enjoyed the moment. Turned out that right thing to do that day. Thank you again.
Thank you for giving an overview of the store--most of the films on Galerie Lafayette focus on just the Christmas decorations--nice to see the entire layout of the store...dts/usa
That was FUN!!!
Incredible video!
I'm embarrassed to say that I've been there "a hundred times" and cannot believe that I missed so much. Really appreciate this video
Thank you so much. Isn't it interesting that Gallerie Lafayette has a recycled items department. I find that impressive. Thank you for showing us. Much appreciated.
you guys know how to travel. VIVA LA VIDA
Love these videos guys!! I almost feel like I'm there enjoying Paris shopping with you :) ... And Antoine, you crack me up laughing! That book would have been the exact same book my own husband would have chosen to look at and have a giggle over! Hahahahahaha!!!
What lovely strolls I take with you! Thank you ever so much🌸
Marvelous! Love all the sights and sounds and the two of you!
Merci! Joyeux Noel!
I really like your videos. Very interesting and useful for a trip to Paris. Merci beaucoup.
From Paris France 🍾🍷
Enjoy your holydays in Paris
Gl is a wonderfull place to enjoy your day, make gift to yourself or loves one. As a parisian person I recomend this place to enjoy your stay in Paris 😀✌
Have a good day
I love the fashion consultant idea! Sounds like a fun episode 😊
Love!y video, I have wanted to visit for years! I am so hoping for next Spring! Thank you x
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Antoine and Colleen.🎅☃️
Fabulous Vicarious Shopping Adventure! Merci Beaucoup et Joyeux Noël…
I love love watching you guys❤❤
I find it ironic that Galeries Lafayette have stated their commitment to sustainability and yet, with over a million Christmas lights on display, they have the biggest light pollution footprint in Paris. Merci for the tour. Wishing you both a joyeux Noel.
I was thinking the same thing (but enjoy the lights!)...those cliché slogans are often merely a marketing-ploy for those who don't critically-think as we did 😜
Ahhh! Galeries Lafayette at Christmas is quite an experience. I love the Dome. Je vous souhaite à tous deux un très Joyeux Noël.
Bonjour Les Frenchies. Another wonderful post. The GL is a fabulous grand department store. I remember back in 2010 visiting it and the hardware section that was located in the basement level. In 18 days I will be “licking the windows” at the GL and other iconic stores. Merci. Josef. Oh and we both have a daughter, Lizzie. A bientôt.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel yes I am. BTW, my birthday is on Christmas Day. Yeah me🎂
Thanks for the video guys.
In love with ur Christmas videos!!
5:28 Been to Galeries Lafayette so many times ... without knowing there was a rooftop 😳 well, thank you guys.
😯
I always avoid the grand stores because they overwhelm with selection but you have convinced me to try the Galeries at least one time floors 4-the roof at least. Thank you and good holiday to you.
I love you guys 💞 my lady and I watch with great pleasure your videos. We visit Paris in July and November and we bearly wait to come back next year in June. From Cris and Coco, we wish you a Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Big warm hugs.
Thanks for the tip on the VAT tax! I'll remember this when I return to Paris. Can't wait to see your transformation after you get a stylist. Love you guys!!
I like the pre-loved clothes section. Thatd be for me.
Paris is just beautiful. Merry Christmas !
What a incredible shopping experience, wow WOW wow!!!
My, my dream destination any day.Thanks so much for sharing,I have enjoyed shopping with you guys.Next time, take me with you.
Ho guys! What a useful,wonderful video!!! Coleen,DO NOT CHANGE YOUR STLE: YOU ARE PERFECT AS YOU ARE!!!
ANTOINE,BUY THE RED SHIRT...!! MERCIIII ENCORE...GREETING FROM QUÉBEC CITY IN CANADA!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Merci. 🙏
What a great video. We have a trip planned for next year and this is definitely a stop on our list. All of your videos have been very helpful in our trip planning.
I have only visit first building, didn’t know that the men’s and house department are in different buildings and about VAT section or wellness center. Thanks, we will have to visit Paris again.🤪
Kind of miss your tried and true tops w/ stripes. It was lake your trade mark. But I’m happy you are trying new things in more recent videos. I feel in love with Paris my first trip to France and Europe last Holiday season. And your videos take me back. So thank you both!
I love Paris and so enjoy your videos
Always QUALITY content. Happy Holidays to you both!
@@LesFrenchiesTravel I'm sure it has been electric today there with the World Cup Final going on right now...regardless of the outcome.
Thanks for this vlog. Joyeux noël!
I miss Paris so much!!!
@@LesFrenchiesTravel I want to go back so bad
Привет!
Вы замечательные и позитивные, Я всегда стараюсь смотреть ваши видео, браво хотим ещё!!!!!
It is such a fabulous place, I need to go back - Soon !
You can buy Le Creuset in many outlets in the USA. I used to like Les Galeries Lafayette but not anymore. Too touristy. Now I prefer Le Bon Marché or small independant boutiques.
Thank you...im here in Australia living a white Christmas through you guys 🎉✨🌲
Awesome! But I think the best Xmas market in Europe is Nurnberg. ❤
i've been binge watching your videos and they're so informative and entertaining. thank you so much! my husband and i will be in paris for christmas!
Thanks! Didn't spend a lot of time at Galleries Lafayette but did have a nice croque monsieur and salad for lunch at the the gourmet food hall last week. I loved Paris at Christmas!
I absolutely love your videos! I’m still plumbing the depths of everything you guys have covered! If you haven’t already, could y’all do a video of how to use the post office in France with like useful phrases for those of us who’d like to send stuff back home during our vacation?
Love your vlog on Galeries Lafayette. Your info is always so helpful!
I visited a few years ago when they had the bee themed windows. It was absolutely magical! Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to go back ❤
Nice to go in and stroll and look. I'd be happy in the food department. I like that men have a place to themselves. Nice to get out of the cold weather, too
Génial ! Merci !
Fantastic! That’s how you do a department store!
Oh my goodness, I wish I had seen this a few months ago, before we visited Galleries Lafayette. I had no idea there were so many different attractions. We didn't even go the top floor. Oh well, an excellent excuse to visit again:))
I always enjoy your videos
i love the sunglasses show on Antoine :)
Antoine is full of fun ❤️
❤🎉❤ the stripes !!
Great looking Citroen C6 in the background
Went back to the gourmet section and absolutely loved it. I think I like it better than Bon Marche. The spice people were so warm and helpful. Thanks again.
Thank you and Merci for sharing a mooch (moach or a shufty, as we say in South Yorkshire) around the galerie.
Oh, too late for me. Went the other day and got overwhelmed and had to get out. I have a few days more, so am thinking of returning now that I have the inside scoop. Thanks!!
Did someone say ‘purses’? Can’t wait to go!!
We went to Galleries Lafayette on a Saturday afternoon and it was way too crowded. Go on a weekday, fellow travelers!
Paris here I come...looking forward to going there next week
thanks for the video~~~~~~
Hi guys, my wife and I where walking into Galeries Lafayette just as you walked out, wished we said hello but you where to fare gone by the time we twigged, good episode once again.
Superbe, merci
Thank you guys for the videos!!!my husband and I have been watching all year long for our trip... No way to do it but Christmas in Paris! We just got finished shopping at Lafayette & eating at Comptoir des Mers it was such a great experience were staying until the day after Christmas and have so much more to explore can't thank you guys enough!!! P.s got to get that PROFITEROLE before we leave 😂❤
Counting the days until next April, when I’ll be back in Paris.☺️
I love you guys! You're too cute
Your videos bring me back to Paris - my happy place! Ill make it to Paris one winter. Thorougly enjoyed your winter foods video as well. Raclette! Yum! I look forward to the next video! Keep spreading the joy of Paris ❤️
Your
The blue hat! Yes, Colleen! :)
Yes! It immediately looked fabulous!! :)
I was there in September. Heading back to Paris 26/12 - 30/12, so looking forward to it. Maybe I will buy the €499 Givenchy T-shirt this time? I was holding up the T-shirt and ask "how much is this one"? He said "€499 sir" Then I asked "do you have any €49 T-shirts"? The smile on his face was priceless. 😄 Thanks for your videos. I haven't seen them all, but I will be very surprised if I came across one that's not awesome. 🥰
It was very high quality, no doubt about it. 10 times better, i dont think so. I guess its fair to say that the original Givenchy logo comes with a price.. 😎
Love that store. Not loving the tree so much this year but it's still beautiful and I love the theme. . LOVE the food store. I always go to the shoe department. In my "salad days" I hace 150 pairs of shoes. I'm old now so no pointy toes and heels for me anymore but I love that department. I always buy some table linens. Love using them.
I remember your last video showing this department store but Omg it’s huge 😳😂 I love shopping i’m going to have to be careful both with my money and time.
Was literally there at the same time 🥺 it was such a cool experience to go to the rooftop!!
@@LesFrenchiesTravel also, wanted to thank you- my Paris trip went perfectly, largely due to me binging all your videos and knowing what to do based off of all your tips!! I went alone and didn't feel confused or unsafe, but rather confident in my ability to get around and know what to do:) thank you both so much!
Wonderful tour and insights thankyou. You may be interested in Marie-Anne Lecoeur vlogs on dressing for a mature lady from a French viewpoint
I so love your videos thank you for taking me shopping Hugs to both xo
I am in Paris right now and using lots of your tips. Looking around if you guys are around😊

Bonjour les Frenchies, toujours intéressant de regarder vos vidéos, de la part d'un Québécois !
Another great video. I was tired when my daughter went here so I stayed back and rested. What a mistake! Guess another trip is in order.
Thank you guys incredible video ❤
I follow you since a long time, je vous aime beaucoup tout les deux, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, un Flamand en Thailand :P
Splendid tour, we'll visit there so much better-informed, merci beaucoup!!
@@LesFrenchiesTravel we certainly would, and cannot thank y'all enough for your wonderful guidance! It will be our (22yo daughter & I) first visit to Paris, late April...and with helpful ideas like this & others our itinerary is stacking up far better than we could ever have dreamed!! We would be honored to thank & treat y'all in person over a breakfast or dinner we've planned (on your recommendation from another video!)...if it's not too forward, feel free to connect via FB (my name, I'm probably the only one with that spelling) to coordinate? Either way, merci again!!
