Cheap shooping in paris?

Question

how could i get to cheap shooping in paris

Answer 1

Sorry, but where did Rillifane see something cheap in Galleries Lafayettes? huh?!! lol

In a Mauritian point of view nothing is cheap in Paris, however you could try the quartier latin which is just great, And for the books there are the 'bookers' near the Pont Saint Michel along 'la Seine'... I luv them!

Answer 2

Check the big department stores of course:

Le Bon Marche Rive Gauche

24, rue de Sèvres (7th arr.)

Metro : Sèvres Babylone

www.lebonmarche.fr

Galeries Lafayette

40, boulevard Haussmann (9th arr)

Metro : Chaussée d'Antin La Fayette

Printemps Haussmann

64, boulevard Haussmann (9th arr)

Metro : Havre Caumartin

But the real secret is to go to the French version of an outlet mall called La Vallee Village (3, cours de la Garonne Paris 77700) where over 75 leading ready-to-wear, table ware and luxury labels offer their previous season's collections (minimum of 33% reduction (off original recommended price) and up to 60%).

Its actually outside Paris but easy to get to. by the RER commuter train to the Val d'Europe station.

Better still, three times a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays), there is a Cityrama shuttle service that goes there. Departure from the Cityrama agency, place des Pyramides, at 10:15 am and return to Paris at approximately 5:00pm.

The fare is 15€ round trip. Reservations are required by 5:00pm the day before departure, at your hotel desk or Cityrama agency.

Answer 4

Cheap shopping, if you are an American, is an oxymoron.  Firstly, everything is about 10% more expensive here than the States, and then you have the exchange rate against you (1.35 USD to 1 Euro)!

Go for H&M, C&A (but their stuff is not that wonderful)... plus, despite what everyone thinks, French street fashion is about a year behind the States.

Go to the main shopping sites (i.e. boulevard Haussmann, rue de Rennes, les Halles) and you may be able to find something.

Answer 5

if by cheap, u mean really cheap, forget about all the answers before, and try and find chinese stores (there are many of them, but not in touristic places): i recommend them, especially for shoes. Otherwise, u've got H&M.
