Au Printemps Paris, part II !!!

Posted in Europe, France, Paris

I walked by every day for 9+ yrs! and shopped many times! Oh well wrote about the other one nearby but need to tell you more of this one. I have mentioned in brief moments in other posts but not stand alone which it deserves. I like to tell you again on the grand magasin Au Printemps dept store of Paris, part II !!!  Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Au Printemps perpetuates, over the seasons, its vision of essential luxury at low prices since 1865. Au Printemps is a department store that mainly focuses on fashion, luxury and beauty brands. The flagship store is located on Boulevard Haussmann in the 9éme arrondissement of Paris. In 2013, Au Printemps was bought by Disa, an investment fund with Qatari capital. The brand has 17 own stores in France and the United States and 4 others which are affiliated structures in France and Qatar. The group also has nine Citadium stores ,and operates 4 e-commerce sites. The flagship store and the one I passed by many many times was Au Printemps Haussmann ; open Mondays to Saturdays  11h to 20h, Sunday 11h to 19h . Metro Havre-Caumartin lines 3 and 9 closes bus line is the 43 on rue du Havre and 32/66 on bd Haussmann. Auber station on the RER A and Haussmann – Saint-Lazare station on the RER E.

The Printemps Haussmann is an authentic masterpiece of architecture from the end of the 19C and the beginning of the 20C, Printemps Haussmann is the most beautiful Parisian structure dedicated to commerce. Covering nearly 50,000 m², the Group’s flagship brings together the most beautiful fashion, luxury and beauty brands, exclusive concepts (La Sneaker, L’Endroit, etc.) as well as tailor-made services to offer an exceptional shopping experience ,distributed by theme in the three store buildings with 27 levels and 45,500 m2 in total, and more than 1,000 brands ! Printemps Haussmann is divided into three buildings: Printemps de la Femme (9 sales levels), Printemps Beauté Maison Enfant (7 sales levels), and Printemps de l’Homme (11 sales levels).

A bit of recap on its evolution tell us that in 2000, the neighboring Citadium building opened. In 2001, Printemps dedicated an entire floor to luxury: Printemps du Luxe, featuring fine jewelry. In 2003, it inaugurated the world’s largest “beauty space.” In 2006, a 3,000 m² floor was entirely dedicated to women’s shoes. A “food hall,” entirely dedicated to luxury groceries and gastronomy, was also created. In 2011, La Belle Parfumerie was created. In 2018, Printemps du Goût opened, a grocery store with dining areas, offering panoramic views of Paris from the 7th to 9th floors of Printemps de l’Homme.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
