Shopping In Paris
In Paris, you can shop for everyone. You have the designer shops and you have the street side shops. So between the two of them, it is a shopper's paradise. As you walk along the streets of Paris, you cannot help notice just how elegantly dressed everybody is. However, besides the sinfully high priced designer wear, even the clothes in the malls have a sense of innate French style in them.
Let's first look at the best of the stores. Christian Laouboutin is one of the city's best known stores. It's got shoes that really are one of a kind and everyone in the whole family is going to love the fashionable range of footwear that is displayed. Then of course, you find a range of casual clothing to custom made suits at Emporio Armani. Of course it has a massive four floors for you to take your pick from.
When it comes to food, the Forum des Halles tops the list and is the largest store for foods. The shops here are all underground –you park your car on top and then go down to shop. For cosmetics, head straight for Galexis Lafayette where you will find a wide, wide range of men's and women's perfumes. The store is identified by its beautiful glass dome right on top. For office supplies and stationery, head for Hermes. They have a large stock of leather items too and besides the notebooks and the leather agendas, they also have hats and umbrellas.
Don't miss the over 100 year old LeBonMarché. One of the largest fashion stores that have both men's and women's fashions, they also have a full service restaurant which can be very welcome when you've been shopped off your feet.
If you are a tourist, don't miss the street shops. They have so much to offer. Maybe you could pick up a painting on the streets or a curio of gift for someone in the family. Don't rush through them. There are so many little treasures hidden away that you might have to hunt around a bit. However, when you get back home and unwrap those parcels, you'll be so glad you did.
There's so much more when it comes to Paris. Every nook and cranny has some kind of delightful shopping experience. There are so many stores in Paris, it really is every shopper's dream. After the shopping of course, you can go to your hotel room and put your feet up or maybe go to a nightclub and dance your tiredness away. Whichever it is, it really would have been the end of a perfect shopping day.
