According to the French newspaper "La Tribune", there will be an Apple Store opened under one of the highly visited spots of Paris - The Louvre Pyramid. The company has already got the green light to locate its first store on the 7,696-square-feet space beneath the attraction.

The Apple Stores are more than just retail stores, they are real showrooms exhibiting brand new computer and electronic products. The one under the Pyramid will be located on two floors, replacing the two other stores, Résonnance and Lalique. No opening date has been announced yet.

The large glass Louvre Pyramid is located in the museum's courtyard and serves as a main entrance to the museum building. The space underneath it is occupied by a shopping gallery which attracts 8,7 visitors every year. The new store will, therefore, be able to compete with the prestigious Regent Street store in London and the Fifth Avenue store in NYC.
