A cultural journey with an obligatory stop at the Parisian department stores, of course. Printemps has stood proudly at number 64 Boulevard Haussmann since 1865. Created by a visionary couple, Jules and Augustine Jaluzot, and rebuilt in 1882 by Paul Sédille following a devastating fire, the building is now one of the most beautiful in the world, dedicated to commerce.

For 157 years, Printemps Haussmann, formerly "Au Printemps", has been at the forefront of trends. Historians have even called it the "prototype of the modern department store", while Émile Zola drew inspiration from it to describe the "cathedral of commerce" in his novel "Au Bonheur des Dames".
Today, Printemps is one of the capital's most important showcases, bearing witness to a rich history of French art de vivre.
