    L'Oréal's historic headquarters since 1938 and renamed "Le Visionnaire" when it reopens in 2023, 14 rue Royale is a place steeped in history. Located at the crossroads of rue Saint-Honoré and rue Royale in Paris, stands one of the architectural masterpieces of the French 18ᵉ century erected by architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, whose facade and roof are listed as historic monuments.

    Redesigned in 2017 by Alain Moatti, the architect has brought a futuristic dimension to the project, notably with this ovoid shape reminiscent of the creative process, and thus continues to build a bridge between heritage and future.
