As the Paris 2024 Olympics is unfolding, visitors from around the globe are not just spectators but avid shoppers, seeking out coveted Olympic memorabilia in the heart of the action.
Nestled on Paris's illustrious Avenue des Champs-Élysées lies the official flagship store of the Paris Olympics. The colossal store spans nearly 1,000 square meters, offering not only the usual array of clothing, accessories and mugs, but also exclusive items unique to this store. The pink Eiffel Tower trinkets, white T-shirts and a plethora of exquisitely crafted products have become instant hits, flying off the shelves as soon as they are displayed.
From garments emblazoned with the iconic black logo to the Olympic mascot The Phryges that tourists flock to snap selfies with, the shelves are brimming with Chinese-manufactured goods. In this bustling realm of Olympic-themed retail bazaar, the allure of Chinese craftsmanship and Parisian charm converge, ensuring every visitor leaves with a piece of the Parisian Olympic spirit.
"I believe that having Chinese-manufactured products allows our store to offer customers a wider range of choices throughout the entire Olympics, and the quality of Chinese-made products is very good," said Berenice, a staff member of the flagship store.
According to Berenice, many merchandise items have been sold out.
"Ladies' favorite items are the white T-shirts featuring the Paris Olympics logo. Also hugely popular are the pink and blue Eiffel Tower souvenirs, which are in high demand and are already out of stock," Berenice added.
Berenice hopes all products in the store can be a pleasant part of tourists' memories of the Paris Olympic Games.
"We hope they will love France, enjoy the Olympics, and like the merchandise at our store, although the pink and blue Eiffel Tower souvenirs are sold out. Our customers have always been exceptionally friendly and enthusiastic, and we wholeheartedly welcome them to visit our store often. We hope they will enjoy the Paris Olympics and fall in love with Paris," said Berenice.
