When the French minister of state for foreign trade, Anne-Marie Idrac in the picture, centre, was in the country, she paid a courtesy visit to the Louis Vuitton and Dior stores at the Emporio mall, and it was a deja vu moment for the elegant lady. 8220;The best LV stories are of old travel bags made for the maharajas and the stores here remind me of those in Paris,8221; smiled Idrac, trussed in a chic beige dress.
