A summer at Printemps

‘Paris will always be Paris’ sang Maurice Chevalier. But where would the French capital be without its Opéra National, which is celebrating its 350th anniversary this year? Or the Ritz Escoffier school, whose culinary excellence has been delighting the city for thirty years? Or the world-famous Bateaux-Mouches or the iconic Crazy Horse? Without those legendary institutions and magical names, would Paris still be Paris? Wishing to pay tribute to such symbols whose individual worlds – each in their own way – say something about the city, Printemps Haussmann presents ‘A Summer in Paris’ in partnership with eight Enterprises of Excellence. Planned as an extraordinary escapade through the heart of the capital, the exhibition offers brand-new experiences and ‘freeze frames’ to (re)introduce the city in a new way, staging collections exclusively designed for the event.

In a homage to culinary art à la française, the Printemps showcases the illustrious Ritz Escoffier school opened three decades ago in the heart of the kitchens of the Ritz Paris, with two store windows and a pop-up store presenting its range of delicatessen products. A declaration of love for the country’s gastronomy that the Printemps also extends to the Perruche restaurant, made famous in July 2018 with its location of choice at the top of the Printemps de l’Homme. During ‘Summer in Paris’, Perruche will be open until 2 in the morning, serving simple, delicious dishes in the skies of Paris.
