The Société Française des Nouvelles Galeries Réunies, founded in 1899, operated numerous department stores throughout France. This was the case with the Grandes Galeries Modernes in Agen, the Galeries Orléanaises in Orléans, and the Nouvelles Galeries in Nemours. This chain of stores joined the Galeries Lafayette Group in 1983. It is worth noting that the Galeries Orléanaises belonged to the Paris brothers in 1904.
