Printemps has commissioned a free ice rink for Christmas, transforming the seventh floor of its Haussmann flagship into a winter retreat with views across Paris. The rink runs from 7 November 2026 through 3 January 2027, opening daily from 1 to 7 pm, and comes from a collaboration with We Are From Future, the Parisian house of cashmere and wool.
The experience extends beyond skating. A wooden chalet sits beside the ice, warming visitors with crêpes and hot drinks between rounds on the rink, while the Eiffel Tower pierces the skyline beyond the railings. The whole offering is free to access, with registration required through Printemps’ website.
We Are From Future specialises in timelessly cut knitwear in natural fibres, and their presence here suggests the aesthetic of the chalet itself, a refined, understated approach to winter dressing that moves beyond novelty. The rink becomes not merely a seasonal attraction but an extension of Printemps’ identity as a sanctuary for refined leisure in the heart of Paris.
Booking is required in advance through the Printemps website.
