Bargains in Paris by jumpingnorman
The "soldes" or sale is what you have to look for...also important terms for the savvy shopper to know include stock (overstock), degriffes (when designer labels are cut out), and depot-vente (resale)...Which arrondisments to go to for bargains? At the Right bank in 8e, 16e and 17 e is where you'll find the resales. And street stores are also nice to window-shop at or really get a bargain --- at 6e is the Rue St-Placide (Metro: Sevres-Babylone) for shoes, Rue Paradis at 10e (Metro: Poissonniere) for porcelain, and Rue d"Alesia (14e, for overstocks)
But then again, don't spend too much time shopping because you'll miss the other beautiful places to go to in Paris!
