While the original Chanel flagship store is on Rue Cambon, the large store at 42 Avenue Montaigne is at the epicenter of arguably one of the most expensive shopping streets in the world.
The windows are tastefully decorated for Christmas, but the mannequins are wearing spring designs for 2011.
I fell in love with the Coco dolls in one window. We went inside the store to inquire about them, but they are not for sale. Karl designed them just for the windows of a few stores. I imagine they will be used as gifts for very important clients. Sigh.

The Christian Dior store occupies just as important a spot as Chanel on the Avenue Montaigne and has equally large and numerous windows.

Thanks so much for sharing your stroll down Avenue Montaigne - Beautiful - and the next best thing to being there! Love the Coco dolls - wouldn't we love to have one of those.
Thanks again Jodi and Happy Christmas.
Jaw dropping gorgeous!
It was a fun day! Happy Holidays to you too Pam!
Swoon! How awesome!
I am still tickled (after several years) that I have a Gianfranco Ferre skirt (I got it in a thrift store for $24).
Sheila, did you go down Avenue Montaigne when you were in Paris?
