New Apple Store in France set to open

Un nouveau magasin d'Apple est prête à ouvrir dans la ville française de Lyon la semaine prochaine. Errr, excuse me -- I mean, a new Apple Store is set to open next week in the French city of Lyon.

ifoAppleStore is reporting that the new La Confluence store will open on Wednesday, April 4 at 7 PM local time. That date and time are a bit different from the usual Friday or weekend morning openings; the store opening is scheduled to coincide with the opening of a retail building that is part of a 350-acre redevelopment at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers.

There's another Apple Store just three miles away; no word on whether the existing Part Dieu store will remain open after the new facility opens.
