Best places to hit shopping in Paris?

Question

I go to Paris maybe... 3 times a year since I was born. No exaggeration. I am turning 16, and I am going to be there for my birthday... and this year I actually want to take advantage of shopping in Paris.

I am planning to go to La Gallerie De La Fayette... are there any other places I should know? And please don't be vague, i..e boutiques because they are everywhere in Paris.

Thanks so much

xoxo

Answer 1

Paris is the most amazing city in the world and I hopefully you are going back in december because everything is 80% off!

Obviously La Fayette is the best choice

Answer 2

It depends on what type of shops you need.

If you are looking for Chanel, Luis Vuitton and so on, you should go to the Champs Elysées and Avenue Montaigne (on the right when you go down the champs elysees, half way)

Answer 3

Go up and down the street of Champs Elysee. Tons of shops.

For department store-like shopping Printemps and Galeries Lafayette are the biggies, but also check out La Samaritaine, and Le Bon Marché.  For fun go to Saint Ouen Flea Market, but watch out for pickpockets.
