Printemps department store

Springtime indeed! The blue and green glass used in this deparment store's massive central dome has a fresh, springlike quality. It's so vast that from the cafe below my camera could only record half the span of the dome. It's a pity that, unlike Lafayette, they have filled in the central floor space below the dome, so the cathedral-like sense of depth is lost, but its impressive nevertheless.
