I usually don’t write about Paris, but my family has been obsessively following the controversial installation of a Shein shop in the BHV department store, and the ensuing departure of many brands.

We loved the BHV as a less touristy alternative to Les Galeries Lafayette or Le Printemps.

These photos were taken yesterday. The first hides the misery and the second is the misery. (Photo credit: my daughter, who isn’t searching for photo credits.)
