You & ME 2026: Record attendance to explore LVMH’s Métiers d’Excellence in Creation, Craftsmanship, and Client Experience
Published on 03.30.2026 • 4 MINUTES- Events
True showcase of LVMH’s Métiers d’Excellence, the “You & ME” tour brought together 26 Maisons across five stops in France and Italy between January and March 2026. This edition enabled more than 10,300 visitors to discover training programs and career opportunities within the Group in the fields of creation, craftsmanship, and client experience, as part of an initiative to promote, pass on, and preserve these skills.
According to the recent “Perceptio” survey (Ipsos BVA) on craftsmanship and exceptional savoir-faire in France, 97% of French people have a good image of these professions, which hold great potential to attract new talent. However, the survey also highlights a paradox: the French public’s knowledge of these fields remains limited, as 63% of 14–15-year-olds feel they don’t know them sufficiently.
With this in mind, the “You & ME” tour, a free event open to all, whose fifth edition concluded on March 26 in Naples, Italy, offers a unique opportunity to inspire career aspirations. It allows middle schoolers, high schoolers, college students, people seeking career transitions, and more broadly anyone interested in the world of luxury, to know more about these professions, still underrepresented in traditional career paths.
Between January and March 2026, the tour stopped in five different cities, in France and Italy:
- Friday & Saturday, January 30 & 31, 2026: Carreau du Temple, Paris;
- Thursday, February 12, 2026: Gymnase Armand Desmet, Clichy-sous-Bois, the historic birthplace of the initiative;
- Wednesday, February 25, 2026: La Sucrière, Lyon;
- Wednesday, March 18, 2026: Nuvola Lavazza, Turin;
- Thursday, March 26, 2026: Museo di Pietrarsa, Naples.
In total, the more than 10,300 visitors to the “You & ME” tour had the opportunity to step into the world of LVMH and its Maisons, discovering their iconic products and exceptional craftsmanship through immersive experiences (Acqua di Parma, Belmond, Berluti, Bulgari, Celine, Chaumet, Cheval Blanc, Dior, Fendi, Guerlain, Hennessy, Hublot, Kenzo, La Grande Epicerie de Paris, La Samaritaine, Le Bon Marché, Loro Piana, Louis Vuitton, LVMH Client Services, LVMH Recherche, Officine Universelle Buly, Parfums Christian Dior, Rossimoda, Sephora, Tag Heuer et Thélios).
