Get up to 20% back on Printemps in Europe with your VAT refund. Luxury Fashion, Beauty Hall, Green Market Beauty across 3 stores. Paris flagship.
Founded on November 3, 1865 by Jules Jaluzot and Jean-Alfred Duclos, Printemps is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious department stores. Jaluzot, previously head of the silk department at Au Bon Marché, envisioned a store dedicated to spring (printemps) fashion and new beginnings. The iconic Boulevard Haussmann flagship features a breathtaking 42-meter glass dome and original Art Nouveau architecture. The store is divided into three separate buildings: Printemps Femme (women’s fashion), Printemps Beauté Maison Enfant (beauty, home, children), and Printemps Homme & Le Printemps Goût (men’s fashion and gourmet food with rooftop). With 45,000 square meters dedicated to shopping, Printemps remains a Parisian institution for luxury, fashion, and beauty.
Printemps offers immediate VAT refunds (12% on purchases over €100) processed in-store before you leave Paris—no waiting weeks for bank transfers. The beauty hall is unrivaled globally, featuring exclusive French cosmetics brands and the innovative Green Market for natural/organic beauty on the -1 floor. The three-building structure allows focused shopping: dedicate time to women's fashion, beauty, or men's separately. The rooftop terrace on Printemps Homme offers free Eiffel Tower views while dining—combine shopping with sightseeing. Personal shopping services and multilingual staff make international shopping seamless.
