It’s time to bag a bargain! Make the most of the sales this year: many brands will be lowering their prices even more than usual…

With the global economy on meltdown, many shops will be making an extra-special effort to make money exit your purse and fly into their tills. In France we call that “une opération séduction“!

Starting at 8am on Wednesday 24th June – and continuing until Tuesday 28th July – you have five weeks to make the most of what is a very special times of year: the only moment when businesses are allowed to sell stock at a loss.

Many tourists come to Paris especially to get their favourite designer brand names at ridiculous prices (instead of buying them at ridiculous prices, if you see what I mean). By the way, the area around our hotels is especially well known for its designer boutiques and luxury brands (perhaps your remember our article about discovering the lovely rue du Cherche-Midi where the Hôtel Ferrandi Saint Germain is).
