Shopping in Paris

Hello dear members,

I guess this could be an interesting topic. I invite all members in Paris (both locals & expats) to share their daily/weekly/monthly experience about shopping. You may also include some shopping tips/suggestions!

So can you please share with us:

>Where do you usually go for shopping?
(Shopping for basic products like Food, Vegetables, Meat)

>What are your favorite shopping malls/complex or boutique?
(Where you usually go to relax or to buy your clothing stuffs, shoes and other shopping related products!)

Awaiting for your contribution ;)

Best Regards

For my daily groceries I go to a Simply Market and in the weekends we go to a Carrefour Market.

My favorite shopping malls are "Les quatre temps" at La Defense (with movies in original version), Lafayette, Printemps and Le Bon Marche in the city center and "La Vallee Village" at Marne La Vallee (near Disneyland) for  outlet designer clothes.

And for some cool baby clothes: Catimini, IKKS and Petit Bateau (stores on different locations).

(moderated: no free ads please)

Hello all,
