Art de Vivre Eragny

Klépierre’s Art de Vivre center in Eragny-sur-Oise holds a specific distinction among Paris-region malls: it was the first themed shopping center built in Île-de-France, organized from the outset around art, culture, leisure and gifts rather than a conventional department-store anchor format.

The center’s “Maison d’Architecte” theme runs through a 2013 renovation that added skylights, soft color palettes and a multimedia library alongside the retail floors, positioning the property as a place to linger rather than a pure transaction stop. E.Leclerc anchors the grocery side, with Sephora, Histoire d’Or and a cluster of national optical franchises, Krys and Alain Afflelou among them, filling out the specialty floor.

A roughly 1.7 million-resident catchment and close to 4 million annual visitors put Art de Vivre among the Val d’Oise department’s leading shopping centers, competing directly against newer, larger-format centers in the wider Cergy-Pontoise area rather than against Paris intra-muros retail.

Klépierre’s Clubstore program, applied across its French portfolio, runs continuous smaller upgrades at Art de Vivre, access flow, signage, a pedestrian forecourt and roundabout added to the site’s approach, rather than the single large renovation cycle more common at bigger-format malls.
