Cheap and chic

If this is your motto, and seeking out bargains is your favourite sport, a plethora of specialized shops can keep you winning all the way. The merchandise in these boutiques, either seconds or from previous collections, is available at considerable discounts off the original price. In Paris, the majority of ready-to-wear stock shops are to be found in the 14th “arrondissement”, in the stretch of the rue d’Alésia that runs from the avenue de Maine to the rue Raymond-Losserand (metro stations Alésia or Plaisance).
