You can buy in France and have them ship it home to you, but you can't buy from them if you are abroad. Last year, my friend bought a pair of shoes at one of the Paris locations, and when she got home, realized she wanted the next size up. They would not let her purchase another pair unless she was back in Paris. They told her some styles are exclusive to Paris and not sold in the US. She was lucky enough to have a US store take them and give her a full credit, otherwise her only option was to send the pair back to Paris and get a credit. She still was never able to get the same pair of shoes though.
