Printemps (Boulevard Haussmann)

(Last Update: 01.04.2025) One of the most important shopping malls in Paris worth seeing Galeries LafayetteAnd another one is undoubtedly Spring. 1865Printemps, which has been providing multi-storey retail services since 1999, will of course be one of the most important places you should visit if you come to Paris to shop.

But I also recommend that travelers who do not prioritize shopping during their trip to Paris should definitely add this magnificent building to their itinerary. Because Printemps is just for shopping and shopping. you have to spend money It is not just a place, but also a center of attraction that I believe will leave you satisfied with your visit, with its architecture and some surprises.

Printemps will of course mean other things, especially for those who went to the Galleria, Istanbul's first real shopping mall, which opened in Ataköy in the early 1990s. At that time “Much larger and more luxurious than YKMPrintemps Istanbul, described as "", brought a different perspective to the multi-storey shopping culture.

My aim is not to write an article on consumer culture, but as I said, for those who saw that Printemps many years ago, walking around this building in Paris can cause you to experience different emotions.

There are several Printemps stores in Paris But when we say Printemps, the first thing that comes to our mind is its main location on Boulveard Haussmann and a huge complex consisting of three buildings. Women's departmentsFashion“, Men's departments”Mens“, Cosmetics and Home Products departments also “Beaute & MaisonIt is located in the ” buildings. If we count the entrance and basement floors, the Printemps Mode building has 9 floors, the Homme building has 7 floors, and the Beauté & Maison building has 11 floors.

This store, which contains all the important brands you can think of, seems to me to be the best in terms of presentation and service. Galeries LafayetteIt seems to offer a slightly more comfortable shopping environment than . However, do not be surprised if you see long queues, especially from Far Eastern tourists, in front of some luxury sections in both stores.

Of course, the purpose of writing this article is to talk about some of the other beauties that this beautiful store offers to its visitors, as well as the shopping aspect.

The different cafes and restaurants located in three different buildings can be really interesting, but I would like to mention two in particular.

Normally, I find food and beverage venues in shopping malls extremely fake and artificial, and I try not to go to such places because the atmosphere in the environment bothers me a lot. Of course, I'm talking about the time I lived in Istanbul, otherwise I almost never go to shopping malls in Paris anyway. I can't help but say that I found and bought beautiful products from famous brands at very affordable prices here.. I can't be bothered with going to outlet centers like that. I usually always find the best prices from the most central place; I'm such a lucky person anyway 😉 What we call consumption is not just having a product at the cheapest price, but also the feeling of satisfaction created by how and under what conditions you bought that product. Isn't it also?

Meanwhile, Galeries Lafayette Cafes and restaurants in multi-storey shopping malls such as Printemps certainly have an attractive side. Especially the sense of reality and experience in the atmosphere they offer allows you to have an enjoyable time there.

For example, the cafe located on the ground floor of the Printemps Mode building, just around the corner, is a meaningful place for me, as it offers a real cafe atmosphere directly related to the outside, rather than an artificial atmosphere inside the building. In this place, which is a small cafe-pastry shop, you can relieve your tiredness with a coffee and delight your palate with a dessert.

This and many other large and small cafes are available on various floors of the buildings, but the most magnificent restaurant worth seeing is, of course, "La Brasserie Printemps“… I believe that this wonderful place, located on the sixth floor of Printemps Mode, will take your breath away with its magnificent stained glass dome. Especially if you have the time and opportunity, you can really enjoy eating and drinking something here... 

Another important place you should see while visiting here is Terrace on the top floor of the Homme building certainly. The terrace of this place Galeries LafayetteIt offers you a much wider angle view compared to . Opera Garnierstarting from Notre Dame Cathedral, Madeleine Church, Invalides, Montparnasse Skyscraper, Eiffel Tower, Triumphal arch, Sacré Coeur It is possible to watch many other important buildings from this terrace. If you wish My real video in this link You can look and get an idea of ​​what the place is like.

After the last restoration works, the last two floors of the men's section were organized as a food and beverage section, and a much more magnificent food and beverage area was created on the top floor. There is also a restaurant at the top; Don't eat it and sleep next to it :)

As you can see, this is a paradise for both those who want to shop and those who want to discover the different beauties of Paris. That's why I suggest you do whatever you can to add this place to your travel list. By the way, Printemps, with its closest pronunciation in Turkish, is “pgentanIt's pronounced "" but we still say "" among ourselves.prentanI think it would be less funny if we said "

Getting here (like everywhere else) is very easy. Metro for transportation with M3 ve M9 of lines Havre-Caumartin Just get off at the station. Location wise Operabehind, Galeries LafayetteIf we say during , it will be easier to find.

It is also one of the most important stations of Paris. Gare Saint LazareIt is also two steps away from. So, you can take those places as your center and reach here by walking. RER's A and E lines also pass very close.

Especially Christmas in Paris ve New Year During this time, the shop windows of this place become much more festive, which you should definitely see… For Printemps' opening hours and other up-to-date information, you can access the official website at the end of the article.
