Kewl. An Apple Store near the Louvre!
From MacworldUK:
“Apple plans to open its first retail store in France just near to the world-famous Louvre art gallery in Paris.
A report from leading French newspaper, La Tribune, explains Apple’s application for the store – to be situated under the pyramid in front of the Louvre’s grand entrance – has been approved.
Apple will build a two-story, 715 square metre store in space previously occupied by two shops.
On this, IFO AppleStore explains the store, “will host nine million visitors a year, of which at least 40 per cent are tourists.”
An Apple spokesperson said: “We are thrilled that our opening project of an Apple Store in the Carrousel du Louvre has been approved.”

I think something got lost in translation and/or the original paper messed up.
The Apple store won’t be in the museum, not even under the pyramid, but in the Carrousel (as the last part states) that is where many stores already are, as well as a food court and the infamous inverted pyramid (that nobody cared about before a certain book, and now it’s swarming with tourists)…
There’s been shopping space available for several months now just under the food court. I assume this is where the Apple Store will be.
thanks for that, david. was wondering about that! i’m just glad there will be one finally in france.
