A huge Apple Store is coming to the Carrousel du Louvre shopping center in Paris, according to a press release by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Paris. 

Translating the caption:

"Paris is assisting in the return of big international brands who are notably creating flagship stores on major Parisian streets in order to promote their brand image. Some of these brands, like Uniglo (rue de la Chaussée d'Antin), Sony and Agnès B (avenue Georges V) or Apple (Carrousel du Louvre) are leaving behind their spaces in department stores to instead show themselves in broad daylight on surfaces that sometimes surpass 1000 square meters. (That's over 10,000 sq. feet)"

From Hardmac, it looks like the store will be spread over two floors and be adjacent to the world famous Louvre Museum which brings immeasurable amount of foot traffic to its  doors.

Although there hasn't been any news from Apple on the new store, they will likely take the opportunity of the local to do something special.  We are looking forward to seeing what they come up with.
