Lagerfeld, Tommy Hilfiger, Maje, Angelo Vintage, New Balance, Adidas, Claudie Pierlot, L’Oréal and Roberto Cavalli at a minimum of 30 per cent off, reveals Sinner.

“It also plays host to an exceptional line up of food and beverage options, including the globally recognised luxury Parisian establishments Ladurée and Angelina, famous for their delicate macarons and iconic hot chocolate respectively. For guests looking to treat themselves further, French gelato brand Amorino and an elegant champagne bar offer the perfect places to pause and relax while shopping, and the popular American burger chain Five Guys caters to customers craving a quick bite between visiting their favourite stores,” he adds.

Unique offerings

In fact, Sinner reveals, “Not only does Designer Outlet Paris-Giverny have the McArthurGlen DNA, delighting visitors and providing them with an extraordinary day-out experience, it is also home to an exclusive Maison des Métiers d’Art, GVRNY, newly launched in June. Conceived by the world-renowned designer Mathieu Lehanneur, the Maison des Métiers d’Art is an immersive space dedicated to showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the Normandy region where the centre is located.”

USP

Designer Outlet Paris-Giverny is located just 45 minutes from the Arc de Triomphe. “It provides the ideal day out for discerning shoppers to explore the brands they love at irresistible outlet prices all year round. Paris-Giverny’s luxurious proposition is elevated by the centre’s contemporary and elegant architectural style, providing visitors with beautiful surroundings where they can shop, eat and relax. Striking living walls by the French artist and botanist, Patrick Blanc, and expertly implemented by Biotecture, are complemented by an expanse of green roofing and lush landscaping to create a real shopping oasis,” he claims.

Family destination

Paris-Giverny is an ideal place for family visits too. “It has a bespoke, covered outdoor children’s play area, offering the centre’s very youngest guests the perfect place to experience their own McArthurGlen adventure,” he informs.

Paris-Giverny is guided by McArthurGlen’s sustainability program, Evolve, which has been designed to minimise negative impact on the planet, maximise positive impact on communities, he says.
