Explore luxury retailing in Paris beginning with Medieval times, when travelers sought les articles de Paris, the superior goods produced there by guild artisans.
We look at the emergence of new retailing venues: the Arcades, Novelty Stores and les Grands Magasins of Bon Marché, Galleries Lafayette, and Printemps.
In this history in luxury retailing, merchandising and branding, the ultimate brand may be Paris itself.

Understanding this epic event requires that we revisit the narratives of "American Exceptionalism" and "Eternal France" and examine the role of nationalism in the development of modern Europe.
