Galeries Lafayette eventually explained that as a result of France`s "vigipirate" anti-terror alert plan, some of its security guards had the right to ask visitors to its stores to remove anything that could obscure their faces.
The woman went to the shop in Toulouse on Monday to buy a brooch for her hat.
When she showed the guard she had lost her hair, he apparently insisted she remove the hat in the store which she refused to do.
