New shops for Champs-Elysées
Department store Galéries Lafayette will open a new ‘shop window’ on the Champs-Elysées in early 2019 as more shops move in to lure visitors from nearby Rue du Faubourg St Honoré.

At No52, it has Tiffany’s next door and Nike across at No79 in its largest store in Europe. This will include a basketball court but the So Sofitel hotel at No150 will have a 25m rooftop pool, with a view on the Arc de Triomphe. Lord Foster is designing Apple’s €50million shop at No114.
