Meet your guide and enter into the iconic department store, the Printemps Haussmann. Experience the embodiment of new modes of fashion and elegance, and discover the promotion of the new, the fresh, and the pretty.

Learn all about the founder, Jules Jaluzot, even within the ornamental details, architecture, and the operation of the store, whose first elevators, electric lighting, and iron and glass structures have amazed the population of Paris since 1865.

Follow as your guide opens the doors to many of the areas there closed to the public, from the terrace on the roof to the labyrinthine galleries that still house all the equipment and infrastructure that run the store to this very day.
