Galeries Lafayette

Galeries Lafayette Haussmann is a landmark Paris department store on boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement, one of France’s most visited retail sites and the flagship of the Galeries Lafayette group. The store occupies several interconnected buildings spanning multiple Haussmann-era blocks, anchored by a main building topped by a historic Art Nouveau glass dome dating from 1912. It is one of the most architecturally significant retail interiors in France. The beauty offer is one of the largest in Paris, with hundreds of luxury, niche and skincare brands concentrated across the department store’s beauty floors.

The luxury and accessible luxury tenant base includes Balenciaga, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Bvlgari, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co, Stella McCartney, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Moynat — the French leather goods house founded in 1849, revived by LVMH in 2011. Lancôme anchors the beauty category. Nike and Zadig & Voltaire extend the sportswear and contemporary fashion range. Starbucks and Cojean serve the food and beverage offer.

The store is served by Metro lines 7 and 9 at Chaussée d’Antin-Lafayette station and is directly adjacent to the Opéra Garnier. The boulevard Haussmann retail district — which also includes Printemps Haussmann — constitutes one of the highest-traffic retail corridors in Europe, drawing domestic shoppers, international tourists and business travellers.

Moynat’s presence is the most editorially significant signal in the luxury mix: the revived French leather goods house gives the store a discreet ultra-luxury note alongside the more visible global maisons. The Jaeger-LeCoultre and Bvlgari positions reinforce the scheme’s positioning as a luxury department store rather than a fashion-driven multibrand retailer, consistent with Galeries Lafayette Haussmann’s long-standing role as the primary point of access to international luxury in Paris for visitors from across the world.
