A tour guide at the Louvre Museum in 2021 and at the Château de Versailles the following year, Martine is now leaving to discover the Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. As part of a partnership with the most emblematic of Parisian department stores, Casterman has published Martine at Galeries Lafayette available since July 1st in Galeries Lafayette.
In this 63rd children's story, the little girl who first appeared in 1954 under the pen of Gilbert Delahaye and the pencil of Marcel Marlier discovers the Beauty Galerie with its shelves of beauty products, wanders through totally unknown spaces, admires the Dome, the remains of a legendary staircaseâeuros¦ The heroine also learns many historical anecdotes about the Hausmann store.
"Through its educational, entertaining and surprising vocation, this book illustrates our brand's ambition to offer our visitors from all over the world a unique experience with each visit" comments the director of communication of Galeries Lafayette, Guillaume Houzé, in a press release.
The department store is also proud to have brought together two icons appreciated in France, but also beyond the borders. The adventures of the little girl have been translated into thirty languages and sold nearly 40 million copies abroad.
This album - also for marketing purposes - is a "exception in the collection" warns the Casterman editions in the columns of the Figaro .
