Printemps (/præ̃ˈtɒ̃/; French: [pʁɛ̃tɑ̃], lit. 'springtime') is a French chain of department stores (grands magasins, lit. 'big stores') with a focus on beauty, lifestyle, fashion, accessories, and men's wear. Its flagship store, known in French as "le Printemps Haussmann" (French: [lə pʁɛ̃tɑ̃ osman]), is located on Boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, along with other well-known department stores like the Galeries Lafayette. Since 2013, the company has been the property of a Luxembourg-based Qatari-backed investment fund, Divine Investments SA.
As of 2023, Printemps operates twenty stores in France (including three in Paris), as well as one international location in Doha, Qatar. The company was a founder of the International Association of Department Stores as well as one of its members from 1928 until 1997.[1][2]
