Are you among the modern-day explorers eager to uncover every secret of Paris? Then this latest news should ignite the adventurous spirit within you. For the first time, Printemps Haussmann opens its doors to reveal behind-the-scenes peeks through guided tours organized by Cultival, starting from February 2, 2019.
Get ready for a true journey through history in the heart of one of Paris’s most historic department stores. During your visit, you'll have the chance to explore this fashion landmark inside and out, gaining access to areas usually off-limits to the general public.
It must be said that this department store, founded in 1865, played a key role in transforming the city. Naturally, one can imagine that behind its Art Deco façade, officially listed as a historic monument, the Printemps Haussmann has plenty of surprises in store for visitors.
Wandering through a labyrinth of underground passages, you come face-to-face with the craftsmen—carpenters, electricians, and operators—who keep this historic site humming with activity. With a steady heart, you venture onto a rooftop balcony and slip between the double layers of the structure to get a behind-the-scenes look at the iconic Art Deco dome of Printemps, a marvel that continues to captivate Parisians, day after day, year after year.
So, are you ready for the adventure?
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
