SOLDES IN PARIS

You may still be on your last round of last minute shopping, but aren’t you forgetting a special someone? Just because we said such, you are probably now flipping through your iPhone address book. But calm down, we’re talking about you, dear shopper. If you have your sights set on Paris anytime in the month of January, you’ll be pleased to find the opportunity to buy yourself that much deserved handbag. Every January and July the City of Light plays host to the grand soldes, in which department stores and boutiques discount their goods at least 50 percent. So if you’ve been a pining for a certain designer piece, now is the time to book a quick jaunt to Paris. Note that when you do make your purchase, be sure to bring your passport with you since purchases over 175€ in France qualify for a tax rebate at the airport. Joyeux achats!
