The first shopping centers appeared in Europe in the second part of the XIXth century. In Paris, most of them were conceived as real "consumption palaces". One of them, "le Bon Marché", employed up to 2400 people, needed 350 horses to fulfill the home-deliveries in the whole capital, and could host 70.000 customers in one day. "The Quatre Saisons" is strongly inspired by one of the three bridge-linked-buildings of the "Magasins du Printemps", which still sets on the boulevard Haussmann. Let's Mister Hoggmeister introduce it for us:
"Au Printemps is situated between the Opéra and the Gare St-Lazare on the Boulevard Haussmann, this most Parisian of department stores was founded in 1865 by Jules Jaluzot, with money from his new wife’s dowry.The building that we see today was designed by the architect Paul Sédille in 1881 following a massive fire that destroyed the main store. Rebuilding was completed in 1889, and the new Printemps building was acclaimed by the architectural press as reflecting the modern and daring spirit of its founder. Each corner was given a prominently domed and pinnacled rotunda, decorated with subtle blue and gold mosaics which carry the name of the shop. Further decoration included panels of coloured marble with inlay and a bronze covering of the ironwork; the building even had electricity and hydraulic lifts. In 1923 Brière created the magnificent roof cupolas in pure Art Nouveau style, each composed of 3,185 individual pieces of stained glass. In 1975 the facade and cupolas become classified historical monuments." Thanks Hoggie
