While we're in a French mood - Alain Delon, Vetra, Ricard - does anyone know anything - at all - about this French Ivy store from the 60s?

Search for Maurice Renoma‘s photos.
And there was a little article in Shindig Magazine:

When they opened in October 1963 it was called the White House and very Ivy oriented. There are a couple of photos from the opening week online.

Re: Renoma
Hmm, I thought that I made an archive thread on the Ivy-French connection when I Shared an account with Jimmy but I couldn’t find it anymore…
We had at least about a dozen threads devoted to France, Les Minets, Existentialists, La Bande Du Drugstore and that whole An American In Paris - Funny Face vibe and Renoma, Chez Mayfair, Tedd and Paris shops such as Harvard and Princeton were mentioned quite often along with the usual suspects such as JM Weston, Paraboot, Façonnable and J*Keydge…
