First published: June 27, 2022 by France Today Editors

Have you heard the buzz? Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann, the beloved department store, is throwing a big party this summer… and it’s absolutely free. On the rooftop, where trendy chef Julien Sebbag is drawing the crowds to his Créatures pop-up restaurant, there will be live concerts, film screenings, DJ sets by top artists, and a crypto art exhibition. What could be better than watching the sun go down on one of the prettiest Paris panoramas while taking in the scene?

The rooftop fete is part of the French Touch event, a showcase of fashion, style and savoir-faire, celebrating the hottest young designers, leading creators, and artists in France today. The festive vibe continues throughout the grand magasin during this not-to-miss event, taking place from July 5- August 31.

Reservations for the rooftop open on June 28 at 12:01 a.m. Book here for your free tickets.

While you’re perusing the latest fashions under the majestic Art Nouveau dome, newly renovated this year, you’ll find lots of new treats, like the exclusive Kenzo pop-up shop, where the maison has unveiled its new collection featuring the emblematic poppy, created by Kenzo Takada in 1988. What’s more, Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann is launching an entire wellness centre on the lower level, sprawling across 3000m² and hosted by French and international experts. TIP: With the 12% VAT refund, shopping is essentially tax-free! What’s not to love?
