Conference and guided tour in the heart of the Lille trade engine. Just 63 years ago, in the autumn of 1962, the new Printemps de Lille was inaugurated. With its gigantic total area of nearly 28,000 m 2, powerful artificial lighting, integrated parking on the roof, air conditioning and self-service supermarket, this ultra-modern department store, symbol of the Thirty Glorious Years, is the first in France to adopt the codes and innovations of American department stores. For its fourth edition, you are invited to explore the maze of this trade institution, whose origins date back to 1894. From the "Galeries Lilloises" to today’s Printemps, a fabulous journey between architecture, fashion and history.
