The Retail team of Jones Lang LaSalle has finalized two lettings on the most prestigious and luxurious Antwerp shopping street, the Schuttershofstraat. The famous French retailer Ladurée installed in a 70 m² boutique on the Schuttershofstraat 51 previously let to John Braye, and Vicomte A. is taking a lease on a 54 m² building on the Schuttershofstraat 46 previously let to Miss Sixty.
Ladurée offers a wide range of sweets and gourmandises but is really famous for its 'macarons'. These small, round cakes, crisp on the outside, smooth and soft in the middle, are produced in several tastes & colors. The success story of the Macaron Ladurée started in the middle of the 20th century with Pierre Desfontaine and now symbolizes French luxury and refinement.
This is the first Ladurée flagship store in Belgium (Antwerp) and the second one in the BENELUX, there's already a Ladurée boutique in the Rue Philippe II in Luxembourg.
