Win a 1 night’s stay at The Galeries Lafayette with Airbnb
Words: Guy Aubrey Devito
Airbnb are offering you the chance to spend the night at The Galeries Lafayette. Six fans of the company will be allowed to stay at the world famous department store on January 6th, 2015 and enjoy an exclusive, unprecedented, behind the scenes introduction to the January sales. The six lucky winners of the competition will experience the thrill and excitement of being in the store before the customers come in on the morning of the 7th. They’ll experience the hustle and bustle of one of the world’s great department stores and be mesmerised by the magical, Art Nouveau decor.
The winners will stay in one of the triple rooms within one of the fastidious pret-a-porter departments and you won’t just be sleeping there, oh no. The winners will embark on a shopping spree, without having to deal with the hordes of shoppers who will descend on Galaries Lafayette on the 7th. They’ll have the use of their own ‘personal shopper’ and also be given a voucher for €200 to get them started on their shopping spree.
After you’ve enjoyed the calmest shopping experience of your life, you and the other lucky winners will enjoy a fabulous dinner overlooking the store. You’ll taste the finest of French gastronomy in the most wonderful of places – be dining in the most unique setting imaginable, an architectural masterpiece after dark. In the morning, after a sleeping on the softest of beds, you’ll awaken to a delightful French breakfast after which you’ll have the honour of being the first customer to walk through the checkouts.
The winner’s will enjoy the most the delightful of breaks, in one of the most exclusive retailers in the world. It’s the perfect way to beat the January blues.
The competition runs between 19th Dec – 29th Dec. For more information about, and to enter the competition visit Airbnb
