(Weirdly, this is my second time Yelping a Galeries Lafayette solely because of its bathroom.) My mom took my son to pee while I hung out downstairs with his brother, a loopy three-year-old on vacation mode and California time. He was briefly asleep in his stroller when we parted with the bathroom crew, but awake and ready to party by the time I saw them get on the escalator. I tried to admire the Jerome Dreyfuss bags and other nice merchandise set out on the department store's main floor, but mostly I kept my child from running into people while he danced. The place was mobbed during Christmas season, and the line for the bathroom was apparently ludicrous, long and slow-moving. I was counting the minutes and it felt like we were waiting for hours. Anyway, if you want to shop at a big department store in Strasbourg, I'm sure Galeries Lafayette is the place to go. If all you need is a bathroom, perhaps there are better options.
