There are addresses that are not just stores. Au Vieux Campeur is one of them.

Since 1946, the store on Rue des Écoles has been outfitting those who love peaks, trails, and open horizons.

People come for a tent, a backpack, or a pair of shoes. They stay for the passionate advice, the stories of ascents, the still-vague plans that are born between the aisles. More than a business, it's a meeting point.

Today, Au Vieux Campeur is opening a new store, true to its original spirit, but oriented towards a different way of experiencing adventure. Because adventure doesn't always begin at the ends of the earth. Sometimes it starts around the corner.

With the launch of its "Au Vieux Campeur – Congés Payés" lifestyle line, the brand extends its heritage. This is a direct nod to the founder, Roger de Rorthays, who, in the 1930s, worked at La Samaritaine in a department called "Congés Payés" (Congés Payés). This phrase is steeped in history, a symbol of a social conquest and a new way of life: that of leisure time.
