Let's go inside Louis Vuitton, 101 avenue des Champs-Elysees The vitrine are full of summer clothes. And bags, bags, bags.Note the visiting fashionistas in Galignanihave the latest edition.Entre! There are many levels rather than floors inside LV - it seems like you can go on forever. Note the classic Vuitton suitcases hanging on the walls.
Even a fashion bookshop.
The interior design is sleek and elegant.
Hatless chic Parisiens browse. I am now hatless too by the way.
Marc Jacobs designs accessories, everything for LV since 1997 and is completely adored by Parisiens. Some Americans are loved in Paris...go figure
The BIG shoes here are covered with black roses. A red shiny trench has toil de Jouy cuffs and lining! How clever you are Marc.
This looks to me like a very chic maids uniform non?
A boudoir maids outfit..?
A mini bag even we may be able to afford. 250 euros-that's a lot of macarons.
If you are a VIP at LV, waiting for your girlfriend to finish in the dressing rooms, they serve you an elegant demi-tasse of espresso. Go up the street to McDo cafe to try their macarons(made by Laduree-Paul). These are not bad, (except for the too-sweet caramel). At McDo you can hand them a 50€ note for 6€ bill and no one raises a fuss. A BIG plus in Paris.

Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
