Making an accompanied shopping visit means going to visit the workshops of clothing and accessory creators, attending private fashion shows or hair and make-up courses.

Shopping tours and thematic visits, available in several languages, will guide you through the lighthouse districts of fashion: haute couture or prêt-à-porter and creation, such as Avenue Montaigne, Saint-Germain-des-Pres or Le Marais. Lovers of antiquities or of discounts are not forgotten either, with specially conceived itineraries. These tours will allow you to become an informed buyer, a real connoisseur!

Make the most of the good deals and reductions, mainly concerning fashion (clothes, shoes, accessories), but also effecting house clothes and thousands of other items.

The sales can not last longer than six weeks in any period. In Paris, each period lasts a month and they come about in winter and summer amid a tumultuous atmosphere. In the sales period, stores may open on Sundays.

Make the most of shopping, you should also take a walk through the markets (covered, open, organic…) and through the passageways and galleries where you could find a rare pearl in the heart of Paris.
