I was recently in Paris and ran across a very nice Toyota Dealership on Champ Elysees. I thought I would share some pictures.

This dealership had an internet cafe upstairs and there were tons of people walking in and out. It was difficult at times getting pictures.

Thx for the detailed pics, yes it is a very nice dealership, I walked through it a few years ago and saw the hybrid demos.

Wow that's not a dealership, it's a museum!

The description read:
"Dessous de Plat / Hot plate"
"Kristian Gavoille"

Some of the other items were like Salt and Pepper Shakers, Cups, etc.. They had a few other weird accessories that were pretty pricey.

I hope Lexus Europe gets a spot on the Champs Elysees too. IIRC, on the facing side of the Toyota dealership there is a Mercedes-Benz dealership, and nearby are Louis Vuitton...

Remember getting nice hot chocolate at the McDonald's on one side, and enjoying duck l'orange at the Alsace cafe on the other side...

You're correct. There's a Peugot and Renault dealership nearby too. The largest BMW dealership is somewhat close to the Eiffel Tower area. On a side note, I was in Europe for 17 days and counted 2 IS250s and 1 RX, only 3 Lexus total. Mercedes/Audi were everywhere, even more so than BMWs (other than in Germany, were I saw tons of BMWs in Munich). I saw more Acura TSXs than Toyotas.

They sure devote a lot of space to concept cars, you won't see dealerships like that here LOL I may have to take a look next time. Thanx for the pics !

Yeah, Lexus was rare in Paris, actually the only one I saw there last time was a Black/Saddle SC430 turning into Champ elysee while I was walking along it, & that's it (in the 4 days I was there). That was way back in May of 2002 though, before I even got mine.

I saw a GS 450h at the Place de la Concorde, with passengers disembarking, a couple of IS and RX as well in my two days there. It was the first time I had seen the GS 450h, and interestingly there were commercials for it at the airports in Paris and Venice. Also saw GS, IS, and RX near Venice and Rome, as well as LS, RX, and SC in London...

Weird, the Lexus' were in hibernation. I went from Munich, Venice, Florence, Rome, Siena, Nice, Lyon, and Paris and only saw 3 total. I was totally surprised. I was on the road quite a bit, considering I drove from the time I was in Munich to Nice (other than Rome, which I am glad I took a train from Florence). 900 miles on the car total.

Oh the displays everywhere for each car said "Turn your bluetooth on" but I didn't have my cellphone with me.

The upstairs cafe had 15 mins of free internet and you can sample gourmet cafe and such.
