If you like upscale shopping, you will enjoy this large department store. The Brasserie Printemps restaurant under one of the domes is excellent. The terrace at the top of the next building has a spectacular 360 degree view of Paris, not to be missed. More

The view of Paris from the 8th floor observation deck of Printemps Department Store is not to be missed - definitely a five star + experience. On the other hand, unless you are purchasing some of the poor quality, over-priced food at the adjacent cafe, you are treated with disdain by the effete, condescending staff. If the store managers cared... More

I just do not understand how a big department store like Printemps has just two toilets split between all its buildings and all its departments. It also charges 1.50 euros to ezch person use the toilet! Our children (aged 11 and 16) were desperate and so we paid 3 euros for the both of them, and for this they were... More

It was worth the visit to say that I had been... but it is nowhere near as big as places like Harods in London. Very pretty building and easy to reach on the Metro (I believe its Hauvre-Caumartin). Check the opeing times carefully because if I remember correctly, there is a day midweek when it is closed. More

Worth a pop into and a good range of products, especially high end designer goodies. This store is for the most part really pretty and the top floor eaterie has the most amazing glass domed roof. However the food was mediocre. Staff really freindly and helpful. More

I usually check out the smaller or designer boutiques first to get an idea of what's hot but almost always buy at Le Printemps Homme. Paris is notorious for stocking only small and medium sizes in clothes and especially shoes. For those outside those parameters shopping in Paris can be frustrating. Printemps seems to stock a full range of sizes.... More

This is a very good department store in the centre of Paris. What isnt to be missed is the view from the top floor. There is a cafe on the top floor with indoor and outdoor seating. From up here you can enjoy a panoramic view of Paris. More
