Paris from a shoppers’ perspective is divided broadly into different sections where traders plying the same goods tend to congregate, for example a certain section would be selling designer clothes while another might be selling traditional antiques. If you are on the Boulevard Saint Germain designer clothing stores, sidewalk cafés and restaurants abound in this area. Draw nearer the river Seine and your footsteps lead you where the art galleries cluster together. Walk a bit to the east, towards rue de Buci, the clothing stores become less expensive.
The fashioniestas and the glitterati of the world will be happy in the up market, expensive designer boutiques of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Avenue Montaigne in the 8th arrondissement. Top quality shoes, bags, and leather goods are the province of Rue du Cherche-Midi and rue de Grenelle in the 6th. Truly trend-setting fashions may be seen in the shops on Rue Etienne Marcel and Place des Victoires bordering the 1st and 2nd arrondissements.
Regrettably Champs-Elysees formerly the capital of class and style in France has been transformed in to a strip of neon lights that features global fast food chains, banks, air lines offices, malls and cinemas all designed for the consumption of tourists. An exception to the rule is Les Halles that offers a subterranean shopping center with more than 180 stores, connected by a maze of escalators and walkways that are guaranteed to give anyone a headache. If you mange to navigate the labyrinth it is possible to find low-cost copies of Parisian-chic fashions here.
For treasure hunting the best places to hit are the Parisian flea markets. Paris has three main flea markets of ancient descent, situated around the old gates of the city. Entertaining in every respect, they are a good place to find bargains if you go early enough, before the massive influx of shoppers gobble up all the good items.
For a much more mainstream a la American shopping experience the place to head is the Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, may be found side-by-side on Boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement, carrying designer, brand name and private label merchandise.
A Paris Hotel will almost always be located near a market as they are a mind blowing 58 market districts in the city. Many large Paris Hotels are located in the much more chic shopping areas which are likely to offer tourists the best shopping experience.
