France Store This Year?

Details are scarce, but Apple V-P Europe Pascal Cagni has told the Presse Océan newspaper the company could open a retail store in France during 2006, as well as 2007. The Champs Elysées has been identified as a location for a long time as a future Paris store, and it will reportedly open next year. However, a 2006 store opening seems to indicate a mall location somewhere in the country.
