Like many dog owners, Julien Courbet seeks to spend as much time as possible with his precious companion, a black dog named Simone. Except Saturday, January 4, the host had an experience that was enough to exasperate.

On X, Julien Courbet explained that he wanted to go to Lacoste with his dog Simone. Except that nothing happened as planned.
IN BRIEF
- While Julien Courbet wanted to enter the Lacoste boutique in Ternes in Paris, the store management allegedly asked him to leave.
- The reason: the reason of his dog Simone. The store would in fact refuse access to dogs, except for assistance and service dogs.
- A situation that Julien Courbet did not appreciate very much and which pushed him to speak out on X.
If you own one or more dogs, perhaps you are one of those who take their companion(s) to four-legged friends everywhere with them. Whether it is simply to spend as much time as possible with them or simply to socialize them to their environment, it is increasingly common to come across dogs when walking or shopping.
Except that not all stores are necessarily very open to the idea of welcoming an animal into their aisles. And yesterday, in the middle of the afternoon, it seems that Julien Courbet found himself in a very unpleasant situation involving his dog Simone.

While the host clearly wanted to do a little shopping in the Lacoste store in Ternes in Paris, the management clearly asked him to leave the store. The reason ? The store refuses access to dogs.
A situation that Julien Courbet did not really appreciate and which pushed him to make it known on X by pointing out a contradiction with their emblemwhich is none other than a crocodile. If the host's speech was rather soft, the reactions were not long in coming from Internet users. Some did not hesitate to strongly criticize the brand, but also the French law which is not very dog-friendly.
But what does the law say in France ?
In France, only guide and assistance dogs have access to all public places, including food stores. For our companions who do not have this oath, their access to a non-food store or a public place is subject to the discretion of the store. Dogs may therefore be refused in a store or be subject to certain conditions such as a leash or transport in a suitable bag, as is the case at BHV.
It can therefore be very difficult to walk freely in the city with your pet. As explained above, offering a wide variety of outings to your dog not only allows you to work on its socialization, but also to participate in his balance by allowing him to discover new smells, new places, etc. And among the comments under Julien Courbet's publication, several solutions are also proposed, such as setting up a rotation between two dog owners to enter a place.
