When renovations are complete, the Galeries Lafayette store in Strasbourg will include accessories shops for Gucci, Prada, Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent. These will be in addition to other luxury offerings at Galeries Lafayette stores throughout France (see our post on new Gucci boutiques opening at several Galeries Lafayette locations)
The Printemps department store in Strasbourg is also undergoing a luxury transformation. Expect heated competition between Galeries Lafayette and Printemps in various French cities, as each vies for luxury shopping dollars.
We will keep you updated on further French department store updates. France’s two major chains are in the process of vigorous renovations.
