New edition of the "You & ME" tour, the LVMH Métiers d’Excellence career fair dedicated to Creative Métiers, Craftsmanship, and Client Experience

Eleven years after the first "You & ME" event in Clichy-sous-Bois, LVMH announces the new edition of its flagship event dedicated to promoting exceptional craftsmanship and their professional opportunities.

As a true showcase of the Group's Métiers d'Excellence, it will bring together 26 Maisons during three stages in France (Paris, Clichy-sous-Bois, Lyon) between January and February 2026, and two stages in Italy (Turin, Naples) in March. This initiative comes in a context where the need to further emphasise these sectors appears more essential than ever, as highlighted by the unprecedented Ipsos BVA "Perceptio" study unveiled on January 22, 2026, during the Rencontres Économiques des Métiers d'Art.

After more than ten years of initiatives supporting Métiers d'Excellence, LVMH commissioned the Institut pour les Savoir-Faire Français and IPSOS BVA to conduct an unprecedented "Perceptio" survey on the perception of traditional crafts and exceptional expertise in France. This study reveals three major findings:

• a unanimously positive image, with 97% of French people declaring having a good image of these professions;
• strong potential for attractiveness, as 71% of French people would recommend them as a career path;
• but still partial knowledge, with only 35% feeling they know these professions well - discover the report.

It is precisely to address this knowledge and career orientation challenge that LVMH's commitment through its Métiers d'Excellence program is rooted, acting on awareness, orientation, and training through various initiatives both in France and internationally.

The You&ME tour offers a rare opportunity for middle schoolers, high schoolers, students, and people undergoing career changes to discover professions still underrepresented in traditional career paths. Since 2022, over 30,000 visitors have discovered the Métiers d'Excellence during the various stages of the tour.

In 2026, "You & ME" will once again be held in various cities in France and Italy, between January 30 and March 26, 2026, from Paris to Naples:

• Friday, January 30 and Saturday, January 31, 2026: Carreau du Temple, Paris
• Thursday, February 12, 2026: Gymnase Armand Desmet, Clichy-sous-Bois, historical birthplace of the initiative
• Wednesday, February 25, 2026: La Sucrière, Lyon
• Wednesday, March 18, 2026: La Nuvola Lavazza, Turin, a new iconic Italian city for the You & ME tour
• Thursday, March 26, 2026: Il Museo di Pietrarsa, Naples

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Enter the world of LVMH through an immersion into the heart of the Maisons and their iconic products, representative of all the Group's business sectors.

A long-term commitment to Métiers d'Excellence

The You & ME tour highlights the Group's local roots and showcases the Métiers d'Excellence that contribute to the design, manufacture, and sale of iconic products and services recognized worldwide. 

Throughout the year, Métiers d'Excellence continues its actions with various publics, notably with the "Institut des Métiers d'Excellence" created in 2014, which has trained 3,800 people in more than 50 professions in Creation, Craftsmanship, and Customer Experience in 6 countries (France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Japan, United States), the "Excellent!" program, which raises awareness and guides young people in middle and high schools (8,743 young people sensitized in 5 countries, France, Italy, Spain, United States, Japan, since the program's creation in 2021), or the "Virtuoses" program, a community of experts in Maisons, embodying excellence in their professions, with more than 300 talents recognized since 2021.

Furthermore, the Group collaborates closely with numerous public actors, regional representatives, private partners, and associations, to foster encounters as a lever for better knowledge of exceptional professions and expertise.
