To adapt to the expectations of customers looking for a new shopping experience, the department store is planning to introduce top-of-the-range services.

As for the building, it has retained its superb appearance, leaving the majestic Art Deco staircase to shine against a bronze Eiffel Tower, the brainchild of Danish architect Bjarke Ingels.

This opening accompanies the revival of the Champs Elysées, which will see the opening of a luxury hotel So by Sofitel, a Dior Couture, a Longchamp, in addition to Apple or Pierre Hermé with l'Occitane.
