Always on the lookout for new trends, new discoveries, Louis Vuitton constantly updates its address listings to satisfy the curiosity of its fellow travelers.
This year, the Louis Vuitton City Guide sets off to explore three new cities far from the main tourist trail.
Biarritz with its ocean, its vast beaches and its Second Empire splendors…
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, and the romantic aura of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, despite the architectural legacy of the Tito regime…
Valencia which plays host to the 32nd America's Cup, and where the Louis Vuitton Cup preliminary races have been in full swing since 2004…
Also in 2006, for the delight of visitors, the spotlight is turned back on Bordeaux, Dublin, Istanbul and Saint Petersburg. Meanwhile, the New York City Guide, published to mark the opening of Louis Vuitton's Fifth Avenue store in February 2004, is also updated with new addresses, a new perspective, and more pages to capture the ambiance of this extraordinary city.
Last but not least, since it first appeared in 1998, the City Guide has featured offprints for Cannes, Berlin and Venice, released to coincide with their film festivals, and for Valencia, published in a preview volume in June 2005, to celebrate the Louis Vuitton Acts ahead of the America's Cup.
