Large department store Galeries Clignancourt located at 12, rue de Clignancourt in Paris, formerly known as Grand Bazar National. According to an advertisement in the Guide de l'Etranger à Montmartre, it had 20 departments and boasted to be the best bargain in all of Paris... but since it was just a stone's throw away from the Grands Magasins Dufayel (22 rue de Clignancourt), the competition must have been fierce! The poster reads: "Opening Saturday, March 31st, distribution of Nice bouquets to every buyer. Refund, exchange"
The Société Française des Nouvelles Galeries Réunies, founded in 1899, brought together many department stores across France. This was the case for the Grandes Galeries Modernes in Agen and the Galeries Orléanaises in Orléans. This chain of stores would join the Galeries Lafayette Group in 1983. It should be noted that the Galeries Orléanaises belonged to the Paris brothers in 1904.
