Apple Store in France; Apple prepares a giant coup?

For ages we have been talking about the eventual opening of Apple Stores in France.
Several different sources have told us that Apple is preparing a massive coup. They want to open simultaneously (or almost) several boutiques in France. Certainly these will be situated in the large towns, and we do not know more. They say that there will be even 3 stores in Paris.
Of course, there is much talk about the site occupied by Planet Hollywood on the Champs Elysées (number 78) which will soon be free.
There is a surface of 1000 M2 essentially underground. It has everything going for it, a shared entrance on the ground floor and all the essentials underground.
The idea to want to open several shops very quickly is not absurd. Indeed,FNAC does not look at this Apple store in a good light, the arrival of the Apple Store will lose them customers. It is said that they could reconsider whether to market Mac. To open many Apple stores at once would decrease the impact.
