Have a magical shopping adventure in Paris this Christmas
The famous department stores of Paris are a shopper’s paradise. There’s so much to be found in one location in the fabulous likes of Bon Marché, Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. Whether you are looking for clothing, perfume, cosmetics, jewellery, prestige watches, household goods or speciality foods, you will find them and much more in these fine establishments. As an added bonus, you get to enjoy the amazing window displays created by leading designers. This year Printemps offers the animated narrative of a young boy’s flying journey by umbrella from London to Paris, as conceived and created by Burberry. Then at Galeries Lafayette you’ll find that the monsters have taken over and turned the huge Christmas tree upside down!
Another great Christmas shopping treat in Paris is found in roaming the seasonal markets. In locations such as the foot of the Sacré Cœur basilica in Montmartre and along the Champs Elysées you will find quaint, traditional wooden chalets selling artisanal food and drink, arts and crafts and some truly unusual gifts.
