Paris Soldes
Finally, the so long waited sales are here. Yesterday, Wednesday 9th January was the official starting day for the sales in Paris. It was also officially the coldest day of the season with temperatures shooting down to -10 °C. The usually joyful water of the Parisians fountains was frozen and the air was sharp as a blade cutting through your face, but that did not stop avid shoppers to mob in the most popular boutiques and big shopping surfaces like Galleries Lafayette.
Did I brave the weather? You bet I did. How could I miss the sales in Paris ? It is not only about the allure of the bargains, but the allure of the city itself. Even in the freezing cold, Paris is a dream city. Always a place to discover, a little corner café where you can discover the most delicious crepes, or the most luxurious hot chocolate. It has to be said, the cold weather is not a deterrent, it is just an excuse to discover new places.
The sales in Paris sound wonderful. I miss shopping in Europe!
