Store Tour

Paris is the Fashion Capital par excellence. Famous for its high fashion and designer labels, the city also features the latest retail concepts from top and emerging brands from around the world. Boutiques of the most famous designers have settled down in areas such as avenue Montaigne, Champ-Elysées, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré or rue Royale. Younger designers have opted for the centre of the city, in busy and trendy places such as les Halles, Place des Victoires or le Marais. But Paris is also home to some of the most famous and oldest department stores in the world, which have their flagship stores on Boulevard Haussmann or rue de Sèvres.

During the half-day visiting programme, the Store Tour is going to take you to some interesting and relevant retail outlets in the centre of Paris and should give you an overview of the variety and peculiarities of the Parisian retail offer. In addition, a comprehensive store list will be provided for individual store browsing.
