Louis Vuitton has announced that they will be hosting their Cruise 2026 runway show at Palais de Papes in Avignon. Located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, the location choice continues the brand’s architectural world building alongside their collections.
The location was selected by Nicolas Ghesquiere, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, as a means for highlighting local heritage and culture. Deemed a Historic Monument and UNESCO World Heritage site, Palais de Papes offers onlookers the chance to marvel over its Gothic architecture.
Louis Vuitton’s cruise collections have always embodied the spirit of free-willed travellers looking to set their sights on not only the best experience, but clothing. This season will be no different, as they continue honouring craftsmanship at every level.
The cruise 2026 show by Louis Vuitton will take place on May 22nd, with the collection dropping in November 2025.
