Val d'Europe (mall)

[1] Opened in 2000, the mall has 190 shops, 30 restaurants and an aquarium, covering over 93,000 square metres (1,000,000 sq ft) since its most recent expansion completed in March 2017.

The mall has undergone numerous expansion projects, including one in 2003 for the opening of the Delbard garden centre, which won the ICSC International prize for Innovative Design and Construction, and an almost 1,000-square-metre (11,000 sq ft) extension of the “Les Terrasses” food court in 2006.

The centre was designed and built by an international team: Graham Gund (USA), Chapman Taylor (Great Britain) and Lobjoy & Bouvier (France).

The resulting style drew freely from the three leading figures of the period: Gustave Eiffel, Victor Baltard, and Baron Georges Eugène Haussmann.

The largest OLED chandelier in Europe, measuring 65 m in length, is fitted with 6000 LED lamps[11] and illuminates this space known as the Place des étoiles.

[12] Brands from all over the world have stores in Val d’Europe, including retailers in fashion, footwear, leather goods, jewellery, accessories and beauty products.

As the mall is located in the town of Serris, there is a direct train service to the store from Paris (line RER A), which stops at Val d’Europe station.
