Ah, summer in Paris: sunshine, sipping cocktails on terraces, and of course, plenty of shopping. Paris might be the city of love, but it’s also the city of pretty cathartic retail therapy. Come summer, the city brims with designer sales across its boutiques and department stores.
If you’re Paris-bound this summer and are eyeing the best designer steals (like a Tory Burch pouch for 70 Euros, for one!), here’s an irresistible Parisian shopping spree you’ll want to make a beeline for.
A Truly Parisian Designer Village
Just a 40-minute drive from the heart of Paris (and a mere 5-minutes from Disneyland® Paris!) is La Vallée Village, a member of The Bicester Village Shopping Collection.
With its tree-lined pedestrian streets and quaint low pastel-coloured homes, it resembles more of a charming French village… Except instead of homes, you’ll find designer boutiques nestled in its place. And an array of relaxing bistros and café terraces you can sip a drink on and people-watch. How French.
Home to over 120 brands (both French and international labels), it boasts of a year-round reduction of up to 50% off its recommended retail prices.
[EXCLUSIVELY FOR TRIPZILLA READERS] YOU’RE INVITED TO LA VALLEE VILLAGE!
