About the tour...
In 1865, the young entrepreneur Jules Jaluzot and his wife, Augustine, established the "Printemps Department Store" (Printemps meaning “spring” in French), , with the ambition of creating a new temple of fashion and the avant-garde in a rapidly changing Paris. By choosing Boulevard Haussmann, which had just been opened, they undertook a real challenge: the Opéra Garnier was then just a vast construction site, and the hustle and bustle of the Gare Saint Lazare discouraged pedestrians!
Want to hear more, do join the tour!! :)
Looking forward to this awesome fun day Saturday!
