P.I.L 26IL-A

  18th, October  The most iconic luxury places  Laurent Poultier du Mesnil took us in the most emblematic luxury places of Paris. We first took a coffee at avenue Champs Elysee at the Louise bakery, (such a cute place!) to talk about ourselves and to know him a little bit more. He is a business leader, journalist, teacher, specialized in the luxury lifestyle and gastronomy. He created the Hermine society and the festival of French history.  He also lead the «  Libre Journal de la Vie Française » and a lot more !   Avenue Montaigne After this nice break (it was raining a lot), we walk to Avenue Montaigne, where he explained to us that the most famous group LVMH, Kering, Prada… was competiting against each other inside of the luxury market. He told us for instance that when Notre Dame burned in March 2020, François Pineault first called Emmanuel Macron offering 100 million euros to help reconstruct it, and later, when Bernard Arnault knew it, h...

The DNA of the stores can be seen, with all the symbols repre...

  The Rive Droite: 1)What I learned about the Rive Droite, and luxury houses:     Reputed to be more sophisticated and conservative, it is home to some great monuments such as the Hôtel de la Marine, the Hôtel de Ville, the Palais de l'Élysée, the Louvre, the Place de la Concorde, Paris chic and the famous Faubourg Saint-Honoré, avenue Montaigne or Place Vendôme. La Samaritaine:  flagship location in the  Rive Droite : La Samaritaine is part of the same group as Le Bon Marché. It took 7 years of work to build this department stores', which contains outlets for luxury brands, a restaurant/bar, a spa and even a hotel. The staircases were built by Eiffel. The principle behind the building is that the higher you go up the floors, the more upmarket the products offered by the luxury houses become. Frantz Jourdain wanted to bring the building up to date with the times, and worked in particular with a steel framework, which he combined with a vast glass roof to le...
