How can you come to Paris the Mecca of fashion and not stop to shop at Louis Vuitton! Our hotel…read moreis right by all the shopping your heart desires , but we are truly here to admire the city. Getting back to Louis. This store has everything Louie as well as hard to find pieces you cannot get at other stores or on line . Yes it's a shoppers dream . There's a small line at the door and a good amount of security around ! From the first minute you walk in you're greeted and asked what you are looking for. Offered something to drink and then assist you to find your purchase. From there it's just all about finding the right fit for you ! You are always with your sales associate and catered to the entire time you are shopping . It's an amazing experience

A Frenchly Honest review, as told by MaisOui Le Frenchy…read more One star. I want to be precise about what that star represents. It is not for the store, which is beautiful. It is not for the merchandise, which speaks for itself. It is not for the experience, which I shall describe momentarily. It is for the man at the door -- the one who greeted me as I entered the Maison on Place Vendôme. He smiled. He acknowledged my existence. He discharged his post with the grace one associates with a house of this standing. And then, beyond that threshold, I ceased to exist. I walked through the Maison. I browsed. I lingered at items with the unhurried curiosity of someone who has both the time and, potentially, the inclination to spend. Staff were present -- visible, standing, breathing the same rarefied Vendôme air -- and yet not one approached. Not one made eye contact with intent. Not one asked whether I required assistance, had a question, or was perhaps looking for something in particular. I moved through the space like a ghost who had not yet been informed of his own irrelevance. I am a man who has admired Louis Vuitton for a long time. Purchased from Louis Vuitton. Returned to Louis Vuitton. There was loyalty there -- the kind built over years and transactions that add up to something resembling a relationship. But as any Frenchman will tell you, a relationship neglected is a relationship lost. When one party stops making the effort, the other party eventually stops returning. I have, since this visit, found my way to a Christian Dior boutique -- specifically, the one at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. There, a woman named Bleuenne, who appeared to be managing the floor, greeted me without hesitation, asked if she could help, smiled as though she meant it, and treated me as though my presence in her store was not merely tolerated but genuinely welcomed. I left. I came back to get her name. She was still doing it. I share this not to wound, but to illuminate. Place Vendôme is one of the most storied addresses in the world. The Maison that bears your name upon it deserves a floor that reflects that address -- not one where a guest can wander unacknowledged until they quietly decide that perhaps their loyalty belongs somewhere else. You know, they say you never truly appreciate what you have until it is gone. Louis Vuitton, it seems, is willing to test that theory -- and judging by the floor I walked through, I suspect I am not the only one being tested. And as any man who has ever been left by a woman he adored will tell you -- the heart, when sufficiently ignored, does not wait forever. It finds new company. It moves on. It discovers, quite unexpectedly, that someone else has been paying attention all along. Her name, in this particular story, is Dior. And she was delightful.

We visited to pickup a hand bag. After striking out at the main store, we grabbed a car and headed…read moreto this location. We were in and out in 10 mins. Longest part was waiting for them to box it up. Smaller store than the one next to the new hotel, but friendlier service. I joked with the guy that we'd be his fastest transaction all day. Door man said the same thing. Only downside is the traffic is horrendous here and it took 25 mins for a car to get to us that showed it should have arrived in 3 mins, then stuck in traffic, Which made us late for our lunch reservation. I didn't get a good look at the selection however I liked the layout of this store better. LV isn't known for their selection and affordability however it's a nice bag and I'm looking forward to putting it in circulation. Probably one of the more moderately priced bags in classic style.

In all honesty, I waited maybe about 15 minutes which I don't even think was that long. It gave me enough time to look through the beautiful store. Every product was elegantly displayed. When I was assigned an SA, she showed me the bags I wanted to look at, gave me style tips, and recommendations on how to take care of the leather. In the end, I opted against buying a bag simply because I was underwhelmed by the leather quality but not because the service was anything short of amazing.

Unlike other Hermès stores where you wait outside like you're trying to get into a nightclub, they actually let us right in. Big, gorgeous two-story space with a café and restrooms tucked in the back. Although a wine bar would've definitely helped to loosened my wallet even more ;) We checked in downstairs (just to the right of the stairs) and waited about 15 minutes before a friendly salesperson helped us. Best part? They actually had the bag my girlfriend wanted -- unlike the wild goose chases in Barcelona and Prague. She was ecstatic, which meant I got a free pass to spontaneously duck into wine bars as we wandered Paris while she sat there drinking coffee and floating on a cloud of Hermès happiness. Win-win. Happy Shopping!!

I went to the Hermès flagship during a two-day stay in Paris last month. The brand is a bit statusy…read more(and expensive) for my taste, but they have a tableware line I've admired for years, and I figured it'd be meaningfully cheaper in France. I wasn't going to go out of my way during such a short visit with my two small children, but when we found ourselves walking past the place on our way to the Christmas markets, I decided to go in for a quick browse. It turned out to be a wonderful stop on our chaotic Christmas-themed mini-tour of France. The store had been transformed into a fancy Christmas destination, with a scavenger hunt that took guests, both children and adults, through several stops within the store, where they played adorable immersive carnival-style games and received stamps in a little book. Once the stamps were all collected, they could be redeemed for a special gift. At first, I was just grateful that my kids had something to do while my friend and I looked at a change tray I'd had my eye on for a few Christmases but had never seen in person. The woman helping me (I think her name was Claude) was gracious and professional. She had me sit, showed me catalogues, and went into the depths of inventory to retrieve the tray I wanted. I ran the numbers and figured I was looking at about a 30% discount with the French price and the tax refund. I bought the change tray and took it home in that distinctive orange box, which I put under the tree as a gift to myself. When I found my children again, they were with my mom in the climactic final stage of the scavenger hunt, a lushly decorated Christmas room with a couple of final games and the prize station: a table where all customers were invited to make their own Christmas ornaments with Hermès store quality ribbons and leather and little bits of hardware. There were sweet attendants who helped my boys, but most of the people claiming these prizes were adults. My kids had an absolute blast, and I got some great photos of them throwing fluffy snowballs at felt Christmas trees and posing in a fake gondola in the shape of an Hermès luggage tag. My five-year-old declared that this was his favorite store, and I tried to get him to memorize "Hermès Saint-Honoré" so we could troll his dad on FaceTime. I was pleased with my purchase, and all of us, children and adults, were impressed and thrilled with this surprise holiday experience. I'll bet we could sell those ornaments for a couple hundred bucks, too, but I'm happier having them on our tree.

There was about a 15 min wait to get in and the process was pretty quick since I knew exactly what I wanted. During my visit, once in a sales associate came to assist right away. While they didn't have the black cherry, she offered the taupe and red clay-- I decided on the red clay and actually love it! Things to note: If visiting from outside of France and aiming to do a tax refund, make sure to have your physical passport on hand. Also to note, they don't accept AMEX for payment. Additionally, a physical card must be used for my sans contact/ApplePay friends. Not sure if it's just this location or Poléne. Overall, super happy with the handbag. I wish I'd also gotten the Cyme for more everyday use but will have to when next in Paris.
