Christmas shopping in Paris - retail therapy in a magical setting
Paris is the number one destination for shopping, and now that Christmas is approaching, wonderful retail areas such as the new Beaugrenelle mall will be certain to inspire you. Find top fashion brands in the Magnetic Centre, or shop for essentials in the 1200 square metre Marks and Spencer, before ending the day with a well deserved drink in one of its bars with magnificent views over Paris.
Take time to enjoy the fabulous Christmas window displays in the famous department stores on Boulevard Haussmann such as Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, before picking up beautiful gifts, or pieces for the Christmas table. The glamorous Champs Elysees has all the top designers as well as its magical Christmas lights, the most famous in Paris. Gentlemen may enjoy browsing the luxury goods in Cartier, while ladies will adore the glittering crystal in the Baccarat store.
The Christmas markets at Montmartre and Saint-Germain des Prés offer exciting ideas for Christmas, and are a feast of traditional arts and crafts, and delicious local produce. Browse the quaint wooden chalets to find decorations for your tree or festive table, alongside unusual gift ideas and gourmet treats.
