Aéroports de Paris has unveiled four new world-class shops dedicated to French fashion and design in Terminal 2E of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport

LONDON, 08 December 2014 - Each of the four is a majestic emblem of French creativity, expertise, and elegance. Their names are Cartier, Chanel (appearing at Aéroports de Paris for the first time), Dior, and Hermès. Now they have a brand-new prestigious location in Hall K, Terminal 2E at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.

It is a living environment, a place of relaxation, culture, and shopping, entirely redesigned by Aéroports de Paris architects to offer passengers visiting France one last unforgettable Parisian shopping experience. The stores line a central square with an oak Hungarian Point parquet floor (in keeping with Parisian interior decor style). Leather seats are arranged in islands or laid out like small lounges, providing passengers with cosy, soothing surroundings.

A pair of great bronze sculptures by French artist Nathalie Decoster have been installed at opposite ends of the square to give more soul to the space. The artist titled the pieces "Le Temps qui passe" [The Passing of Time] and "L'Air du temps" [The Spirit of the Times]. Standing on their Carrara marble plinth, they invite passengers to escape the moment and reflect on the notion of time.
