Thanks for the heads up about the Avenue Montaigne store, folks. I believe fabuleux was one who said it was his fave. After seeing the madhouse that is the Galeries Lafayette, I much preferred a nearly empty store! I just about freaked out when the SA brought this out for me:

I had acquired about this prior to my arrival and they were all out, but the SA said they unexpectedly received one two days ago. Perhaps the only one in France.
They didn't have the purse my sister wants, so the SA is going to have it transferred to their store for Friday so I don't have to deal with Galeries Lafayette or the Champs-Elysees store. The SA was wonderful. So nice and attentive. Paris is off to a good start this time around.
