Dior Paris 30 Montaigne, boutique - museum, café and restaurant

The Dior Paris 30 Montaigne has finally reopened its doors after more than two years of renovation and reveals its new face and new features. Now much more than a boutique, the Dior Montaigne and its 10,000 m2 of space include a boutique, private suite, café, garden, museum and restaurant. Not only can you shop the iconic pieces of the famous House of Haute-Couture and Jewelry, but you can also sleep, have your makeup done, discover the iconic works of the House, eat a pastry or sit down to a refined restaurant.

The boutique offers 2,200 square meters of space imagined by the trio of designers - Maria Grazia Chiuri for the women's world, Kim Jones for men, and Victoire de Castellane for the jewelry lines. From bags to jewelry to tableware and beauty products, everything is there.

The Gallery, a true museum, offers a 2,000m² space that takes us through the 75 years of history of the House of Dior. We discover pieces of collections and even some rooms that have remained in their original state, such as the models' cabin or the designer's office. Models, original sketches, archive documents, accessories and exceptional pieces are on display for the first time. Entrance to the museum is €12 ( reservation required).
