Conference and guided tour in the heart of the Lille trade locomotive. Just 62 years ago, in the autumn of 1962, the new Printemps de Lille was inaugurated. With its gigantic total area of nearly 30,000 m², its powerful artificial lighting, its integrated parking perched on the roof, its air conditioning and its self-service supermarket, this ultra modern department store, symbol of the Glorious Thirty, is the first in France to adopt the codes and innovations of the American department stores. For its third edition, you are invited to explore the maze of this trade institution, whose origins date back to 1894. From «Galeries Lilloises» to today’s Printemps, a fabulous journey between architecture, fashion and history.
