Three wonderful domes are found close to each other:
the Art Déco domes of Printems and Lafayette, and the dome of the opera painted by Chagall.
Lafayette: the contempory interior of the selling departments are quite in contrast with the dome
The stained-glass of Lafayette
Lafayette: between both the sides of the dome
Lafayette: in the lantern the interspace between the sides of the dome is a bit visible
The department store Printemps
View from the dome of Printemps, Café Flo, with the beautiful 'Eglise de Trinité' and in the distance the Sacré Coeur

Interior of the Opera Garnier: the dome of the opera hall, painted by Chagall.
Both the hall and the dome are very beautiful, but they do not quite fit.
