Louis Vuitton adds another stamp to its passport of historic show locations—and you’re invited. The Women’s Cruise 2026 Show goes live from the Palais des Papes in Avignon, a Gothic fortress so grand it once housed actual popes. Now, it sets the stage for Nicolas Ghesquière’s latest pilgrimage.

Louis Vuitton’s Cruise shows have floated across continents—from Niemeyer’s concrete curves in Brazil to Kyoto’s mountain-framed Miho Museum. This year, they go medieval. Built in 1335 and towering over Avignon, the Palais des Papes offers a backdrop of stone, sanctity, and serious drama.
