As a former Abercrombie & Fitch employee (in their corporate office), I looked on with interest at the enormous billboard on their future store on the Champs-Élysées.
I've walked and drove past the Arc de Triomphe countless times, fearing for my life while traversing the roundabout by motorcycle. On June 18th, I took the walk up the famous arch, coincidentally on the 70th anniversary of Charles de Gaulle's BBC radio appeal marking the founding act of French resistance against the Nazi regime.
