We recently commented in an article on Apple Stores that Apple Champs-Élysées it would open today, November 18th, at noon. Domingo is quite atypical for Apple store openings, but the company must have had a good reason for doing so.
Apple Champs-Élysées is the newest flagship in Paris, starting operations just over a month after the definitive closure of Apple Carrousel du Louvre. Several of its employees, by the way, were relocated to the store located on the famous shopping avenue in the French capital.
Obviously, the Apple Champs-Élysées brings the latest in Apple store design – one of the main reasons for the “change of location”, since works / renovations inside the Louvre were quite complicated, not to mention that the space in itself was limited and, in recent times, Apple has greatly expanded the size of its stores to match its own growth.

Tim Cook and Angela Ahrendts celebrated the inauguration today:

This is another store that blends the modern with the historic, as it is in a classic building that has been completely renovated but with its main design elements kept intact. It is a typical Parisian construction, only updated.

Like all the more than 500 Apple stores around the world, the new flagship will have a “Forum” bringing countless educational sessions from Today at Apple, including the more than 60 newly announced new ones, live art sessions with the artists who decorated the store’s facade and a music lab with artists Sônge and Myd, in addition to musical performances.

The reader Gustavo Ribeiro dos Santos was among the first 50 to enter the store today and sent a few more photos that illustrate the beauty of the place. “This store manages to be more beautiful than Covent Garden and flagship from Chicago. Perhaps the new Fifth Avenue in NYC will outperform. ”
The Apple Champs-Élysées will be open from Monday to Thursday from 10 am to 9 pm, Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 10 pm, and Sunday from 10 am to 8 pm, at nº 114 of the avenue. It has more than 330 employees (including 100 newly hired), representing 15 nationalities and speaking 17 different languages.

Like all Apple locations in the world, this one is also 100% powered by renewable energy. ??
