Winter sales in Paris from 9 January to 16 February 2008 : that’s a piece of information some of us would like to keep under wraps so as to have less competition in the inevitable rush to the shops!
The Paris sales are, however, far from being invitation-only: they’re open to one and all and in fact residents and visitors alike are encouraged to make the sales a success. Whether you’re visiting from elsewhere in France or abroad or live in Paris all year round, you’ll find yourself getting enthusiastically caught up in this huge post-holiday event.
Encouraged by the success of last year’s sales, the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau is on hand this year as well to ensure that you don’t miss out on any of the top sights and shops during your stay in Paris.
What’s more, the « Soldes by Paris » (9 to 20 January 2008) event, launched by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and co-promoted by the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Paris City Hall, the Maison de la France, the Galeries Lafayette and the Printemps department stores
among others gives you a head start on the sales with five shopping itineraries tailored to your style and desires.
There’s the ‘Chic’ itinerary (luxury, French lifestyle and sheer self-indulgence); a ‘Trendy’ itinerary (edgy fashion, cool places and exciting encounters), an ‘Offbeat’ itinerary (often secret, sometimes surprising and always off the beaten track), a ‘Romantic’ itinerary for travelling sweethearts, with great shopping ideas and intimate dining spots and finally, the ‘Creative’ itinerary (culture and discovery for those a step ahead of their time).
Our « Soldes by Paris » listings offer a handpicked selection of outings, shops and accommodation, with a variety of choices to match your desires: the ideal complement to your Paris shopping spree!
