PARIS—For just over a month this summer, the LVMH MC 0.48%increase; green up pointing triangle luxury empire turned the Paris Olympics and Paralympics into one long exercise in product placement. As the roughly 150-million-euro sponsor of the Games, the company made sure it was everywhere, from an eye-popping cameo of Louis Vuitton trunks in the Opening Ceremony to the Chaumet-manufactured medals around athletes' necks.
