One of my favourite places in Paris is the exhibition space on the top of the Louis Vuitton store at the Champs-Elysées. It is almost like a little secret up in the air. Bernard Arnault, the owner of the LVMH group is one of the greatest art collectors in the world. He is so passionate about art and his collection. In the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton there are 3-4 exhibitions per year.  You can visit the space via the store but I would recommend you to enter from the rue Bassano. This way you don’t need to queue to get in. The lift that takes you up to the 7^th floor was designed by Olafur Eliasson and is a real experience itself. At the gallery you get a brilliant little catalogue with the exhibition. It is free and beautifully made – a lot of people collect them.

Even if you are not a big fan of the brand after visiting the space go and visit the store. Admire the old trunks from the past and please go to the luggage area, sit on one of the sofas and when you feel very comfortable look up to the ceiling. It is amazing!
