  • PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Paris | 2019 0 Regarded as the fashion capital of the world, Paris is the retail, administrative and economic capital of France, accounting for near 20% of the French population and 30% of national GDP. Paris is one of the top global cities for tourists, offering many cultural pursuits for visitors. One of Paris’s main growth factors is new luxury hotel openings or re-openings and visitors from new developing countries, which are fuelling the luxury sector. This is shown by certain significant openings and department stores moving up-market. Other recent movements have accentuated the shift upmarket of areas in the Right Bank around Rue Saint-Honoré (40% of openings in 2018), rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and Place Vendôme after the reopening of Louis Vuitton’s flagship in 2017. The Golden Triangle is back on the luxury market with some recent and upcoming openings on the Champs-Elysées and Avenue Montaigne. The accessible-luxury market segment is reaching maturity, and the largest French proponents have expanded abroad to find new growth markets. Other retailers such as Claudie Pierlot and The Kooples have grown opportunistically by consolidating their positions in Paris. Sustained demand from international retailers also reflects the current size of leading mass-market retailers including Primark, Uniqlo, Zara brands or H&M. In the food and beverage sector, a few high-end specialised retailers have enlivened markets in Paris, since Lafayette Gourmet has reopened on boulevard Haussmann, La Grande Épicerie in rue de Passy replacing Franck & Fils department store, and more recently the new concept Eataly in Le Marais.

  • Cheryl), Dad (Terry, Or Terence As Mum Prefers to Call Him) and I Set Off for Canberra Airport to Begin Our Ten Week Holiday, and Dialysis Tour, of Europe and Japan
    MY LONG OVERSEAS HOLIDAY -- KYLIE WALFORD It was early on a mid-September morning in 2004 when my mum (Cheryl), dad (Terry, or Terence as Mum prefers to call him) and I set off for Canberra Airport to begin our ten week holiday, and dialysis tour, of Europe and Japan. We were visiting nine cities and I was dialysing in eight of them. It was a long and exciting but tiring trip and I have a long story to tell. First, some background information. Our dialysis planning had started six months earlier in March when we decided that it would be so much easier if we could somehow just book all the necessary dialysis sessions without going through a long drawn out process. We had heard of a dialysis booking agency listed on the internet which would do that. It was a service offered by Fresenius, the dialysis machine makers. The ladies at the agency were very pleasant when contacted either through the internet or by telephone but, for some reason, over a period of more than six months were unable to confirm bookings, or were changing details of confirmed arrangements, even after we had left Australia. To be fair, we did change our itinerary about six weeks before we left as we decided to shorten the trip from twelve to ten weeks. We were forced to change it again shortly before we left because we had no confirmations at all for two cities in Spain. It appears that the problem was that the agency had little control over bookings with the individual units making all the decisions.
