My son informed me about this earlier, thought I would post it here for people who live nearby.

This is very exciting news for us, we haven't had a local LEGO Store since we lived in Cardiff.

Very cool and so far from Paris! Hope they open more for the French…outside of the Paris area. There are so many LEGO collectors in France that they deserve a lot of LEGO stores!

Jee...... great... and again a store in a country that I'll never visit How about the Netherlands TLC ???

Great news for the French though ! Just one and a half year to go !!

Good news for you people in France. But there are a lot of Lego fans in The Netherlands too, so why doesn't TLG open a store here?

[Saint]

I, for one, don't know... wish I knew

I guess TLG thinks we will all just drive to belgium or germany seeing that is is not that much of a drive. But a official legostore in the netherlands would be so welcome

Bordeaux makes a lot of sense, the area is huge with tourists. Also, a friend of ours who used to work at LEGO in the retail division was told that LEGO are focusing on brand stores in France next. This was about a year ago, so I guess it's happening now.

Fingers crossed that the Netherlands gets its own store soon, too! Don't really understand this unless you have a lot of toy shops selling LEGO, and they don't want to upset the apple barrel. Hmmmm...

Not to mention all those Bricklink stores in the Netherlands... even though neighboring Germany is much larger... the Netherlands (at 437) has more than 50 BL stores more than all of Germany. So you may be onto something there Legogal... the Netherlands is the most LEGO intensive country in the world...
