Just 60 years ago, in the autumn of 1962, the new Lille Spring was inaugurated. With its gigantic total area of nearly 30,000 m², powerful artificial lighting, integrated parking perched on the roof, air conditioning and 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 American department stores.
For the first time, you are invited to explore the maze of this institution of commerce, whose origins date back to 1894. From «Galeries Lilloises» to Printemps d'aujourd'hui, a fabulous journey between architecture, fashion and history.
