The French Shareholders' Club -
An Initiative to Strengthen Ties
Dedicated to individual French speaking share-
holders who show a special interest in the life of
the Group, the LVMH Shareholders' Club gives its
members a better understanding of the Group,
its businesses and its brands.
The magazine “Apartés,” published in French for
Club members, lets them order products to be
delivered to addresses in France, subscribe to
Investir, Connaissance des Arts and Le Monde de
la Musique at special rates, be special guests on
certain sites adapted for tours (caves and cellars)
and benefit from special priority tickets for
exhibits funded by LVMH (L’atelier d’Alberto
Giacometti at the Pompidou Center in 2007).
