Since 1996, the glass palace designed by Jean Nouvel has been providing French flair on Friedrichstrasse. Over four floors, the branch of the exclusive Parisian department store presents international ladies’, men’s and children’s fashion and accessories as well as brand-name cosmetics in the beauty department. The basement is a paradise for gourmets, with delicacies from every region of France. Events such as fashion shows, readings, and wine seminars are held regularly.
