WWD reports that "Volez, Voguez, Voyagez - Louis Vuitton" will run from December 4 through February 21. Olivier Saillard curates an exhibit that will fill nine rooms in the palace's Salon d'Honneur, covering the brand's trunks, the evolution of travel, craftsmanship and Vuitton's modern role in ready-to-wear and luggage for celebrities.
