At the very heart of the department store, this majestic tree is reimagined as a protective sanctuary adorned with wings, symbolizing flight and celebration. Beneath the Coupole’s historic dome, a constellation of silhouettes, seemingly sculpted by shears, converges toward the treetop where an angel delicately places the star. All around, sweeping medieval banners unveil a procession of fantastical characters, set to an original, exclusive soundtrack composed by Vladimir Cauchemar.

The Christmas windows displays
This year, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac reimagines the magic of Christmas through window displays designed like an open storybook. As Armand, the narrator, turns the very first page, a series of enchanted scenes unfolds, revealing a poetic mythology of characters celebrating the holidays in a bold fusion of heritage and avant-garde.
Under Armand’s wonderstruck gaze, traditional santons are transformed into genuine fashion icons in an unprecedented “Fashion Show.” Santa finds himself delightfully submerged under children’s letters, the Princess of the Clearings chooses the tree, angels set off in search of the star, and everyone gathers around a jubilant holiday banquet. A vivid, colorful tale that awakens the child in all of us.
