Finaly, Apple Store arrives in Paris!

Apple has issued the city of Paris (France) a formal announcement of its future Carrousel du Louvre retail store, with a storefront construction barricade banner that features a graphic design based on iPod colors and its circular control wheel. The banner graphic also has elements of the huge glass pyramid that sits above the underground visitor entrance to the Louvre art museum, which is adjacent to the future store.

Tipsters first identified the location in mid-2007, and Apple executives confirmed the store earlier this year. But this new banner is the first on-site acknowledgement of the store. As reported by the MacPlus Web site, the banner graphic that just appeared bears a single-word greeting to Parisians: “Soon.” According to previous statements by Apple executives, the store will open before year’s end.
