The Paul Doumer Shopping Centre is not only in the centre of Caen – it’s in the heart of the town’s commercial district. Popular French department store Galeries Lafayette is also close by. In fact, 20% of annual turnover in the town centre comes from Paul Doumer: so there’s lots of opportunity for new retail ideas to thrive.

This former chocolate shop has a traditional storefront, with a clean and comtemporary interior. White walls, floors and dark wood features give it a modern spin that’ll be easy to work with: whether your idea is for retail or F&B. At the back are two smaller spaces which can be used for storage.

Paul Doumer is easily accessible, and popular brands Fnac and Marionnaud are great for pulling in crowds. Have a plan for catching people in the mood to shop.
