According to local reports from Mac4Ever and iPho.fr, Apple CEO Tim Cook paid a surprise visit to an Apple Store in Marseille, France and another in Paris. The Apple Store opened last May and is located in the shopping mall of Terrasses du Port.

While visiting, Cook mingled with both employees and shoppers. He can be seen chatting it up in images shared on social media. Cook also took a picture with some of the staff of the Marseille Apple Store and shared that image on his personal Twitter account.

At this point it’s unclear why Cook was in France to begin with. It could be that he went as a personal vacation and just stopped in to visit at the store. On the other hand, it’s possible that Cook is in France for business reasons.
