The big department store in Boulevard Haussman is richly decorated for Christmas (until 2 January 2006) by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac who created a Royal Christmas for the store with the store windows, the decorations for the famous giant tree and a collection of limited edition gifts. The store will have a castle-like feel to it: tear-drop chandeliers, velvet cushions, medallion chairs and fitting background music for the season. The store’s façade will be decorated in its traditional ‘luminous lace’ dressing by Valerio Festi with millions of multicoloured lights illuminating Haussmann Boulevard. Sounds like fun!
