The Champs Elysees are to get their traditional Christmas lights back, after a one-year avant-garde experiment was grumpily received by Parisians.

High-end US jeweller Tiffany & Co plans to open a multi-storey megastore in 2014 on a prime location on the Champs Elysees avenue in Paris.

A year after the flagship Ladurée boutique along Paris’s famed Champs-Elysées went up in smoke, the luxury tea house has reopened for business.

New York City’s famed 5th Avenue is no longer the most expensive street to lease a retail store According to a new report from Colliers International.

The average annual rent on Manhattan’s luxury shopping destination fell 10.7 percent from a year earlier to $1,250 a square foot as of March.

In first place now is the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in Paris with a two percent increase to $1,256 a square foot.

Louis Vuitton opened its Champs-Elysees store Sunday amid an ongoing national battle over the supposed day of rest.

French law only allows retailers that sell sporting, recreational, leisure and culture items in heavily trafficked tourist areas to open Sunday. The law is aimed to support “dominical rest.”

Louis Vuitton has argued that the store features a cultural element. The French Confederation of Christian Workers, or CFTC, and a federation of clothing and accessories vendors filed a complaint against the retailer.
