Apple Store Carrousel du Louvre opens today
Apple typically opens retail stores in high-end shopping areas, and this one is as high-end as it gets.Beneath the great glass pyramid that marks the entrance to the Louvre Museum in Paris is Carrousel du Louvre, home to shops, a gourmet food court, exhibition space and, as of this Saturday, an Apple Store. This will be the first Apple Store in Paris and in France. Another Apple Store is poised to open in the seaside town of Montpellier next Saturday.
This location has the now iconic glass spiral staircase that's featured in other flagship stores and two levels total. If you can't visit Apple Store Carrousel du Louvre this weekend, check out the photos and coverage from ifoAppleStore as well as these photos on Flickr. C'est Magnifique!
Also notable this week is the new Musee du Louvre app that's available for free from the App Store [iTunes link]. Coincidentally, of course.

I was in Paris last week and saw it except the windows were covered with a massive poster.

I was there in Aug, saw no sign of it. They hid it well during construction.

Having been at the Louvre several times, this should be an excellent location for Apple.

I made it to this today (visiting Paris) - they were giving away Apple T-Shirts in cardboard pyramid boxes - very cool.
