I have a lot of clients from around the world, coming in Paris for the sales period and they ask me where to go shopping in Paris for amazing stuff and appealing prices. A pair of italian shoes, a nice coat from Burberry, a fragrance from Dior, all of these are dreams becoming reality for most of my clients. The americans are in owe with the palette of wonderful shoes we have here in Europe, because, as they say, the offer in New York has not that much diversity in style. The africans love the fragrances here in Paris and the russians love everything that sparkles around here.
Little they know that Paris offers a wide range of designer stuff for a good price if you know where and most of all, when to go shopping. So, I’ve got all of these criteria covered, so all you have to do is to check this list of top places to go Shopping for sales period in Paris.
In Paris, you will not find products to buy, you will find a lifestyle to adopt!
1. Paris – Voilà “Les soldes”
There are 2 main sales-periods of a maximum duration of 6 weeks in the winter and summer. The winter sales started the 6th of January 2016 (it always starts on Wednesday) until 16th of February 2016. There are 3 main periods:
Premiere démarque, up to 50% discount
Deuxième démarque, between 50% and 60% discount
Troisième démarque, 70% discount
Price indications
In the shop, the distinction between reduced and non-reduced items must be made clearly visible to the consumer. If this does not happen, it constitutes misleading advertising. However, a general indication is enough if the discount or the new price is the same for all the goods, for instance, a 10% discount on all the items in a certain shelf.
The following pricing details should appear clearly on the label:
The previous price has to be crossed out (this price has to be the lowest one that was indicated within the last 30 days before the sales)
The new price
The total amount of the discount
