Departure for Paris. Departure for Paris. Guided tour of one of the most unusual department stores in Paris: Le Printemps Haussmann.
In 1865, the young entrepreneur Jules Jaluzot and his wife Augustine opened the "Grands Magasins du Printemps", with the ambition of creating a new temple to fashion, elegance and the avant-garde in a Paris in the throes of change. This guided tour reveals the secrets of the Grand Magasin's architecture, history and operation, hidden behind its listed façade. Conceived as a vertical journey, you'll discover an exceptional panorama over the rooftops of Paris, before descending into the underground galleries. In this maze of corridors, you'll visit the machine room and meet the technicians who work there. From private accesses to confidential passages, you can admire the Printemps masterpieces, such as the floating staircases, and the reverse side of the majestic 20-meter-diameter stained-glass dome, which towers 50 meters above the building.
From the 7th Heaven to the basement, from the Second Empire to the 21st century, via Art Nouveau and Art Deco, this tour is a journey through the heritage of the Grand Magasin and its transformations over nearly 160 years.
