Apple Thoughts: Oui, Two Apple Stores in France

"Apple is extending its European reach by confirming the opening of two retail stores in France. One of these we've known about for a while, and will be situated in Paris. The other is more of a surprise, as Apple has chosen Montepellier, found on the south coast, as its second store location according to ifoAppleStore."

The first one will be in Paris, at an underground shopping mall called Carousel de Louvre. They are combining two empty stores to give them roughly 7,700 square feet of retail space. The second is in a town that has it's own university, so perhaps that is the draw. Both are supposed to open at some point during this summer.
