- 21 Place Vêndome Boutique in Paris
- Note: if you want to enter the boutique, you enter downstairs from the Place Vêndome square and then the front desk will ring up to the boutique. They'll then take you up in the lift. An appointment is not necessary, but it may be helpful to schedule it in advance. The boutique sitting room was quite full when I visited, which led to a short wait before a salesperson was able to assist me.
