This year, the department store entrusted the reins of this magnificent work to couturier Charles de Vilmorin. The designer tells a fairytale tale of a little girl and a magic paintbrush who travel to an imaginary land to discover their dreams.
As every year since 1976, you’ll also be able to admire a fir tree over 15 m high beneath the iconic dome!
It’s beautiful, it’s chic, it’s magical. And it’s just 700 m from the hotel.
