Printemps, Galeries Lafayette… Boulevard Haussmann is an absolutely must when it comes to shopping in Paris.

If you like luxury boutiques, head to the Champs Elysées! Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, Chanel and many other luxury brands have set up shop on the world’s most beautiful avenue. But even if you can only afford window shopping, a stroll from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde is still a great option. So, you are not a denizen of luxury boutiques and would prefer more affordable purchases? This grand avenue also has more traditional stores, such as Zara, H&M, Sephora and Disney. It’s a sure bet for smart and stylish shopping during the 2018 sales in Paris.
Directions: To take advantage of the 2018 sales in Paris on the Champs-Elysées, you can take the Métro to the Champs-Elysées/Georges Clémenceau stop (lines 1 and 13) or to the Franklin D. Roosevelt stop (lines 1 and 9).
Another favorite spot for shoppers in search of great deals during the sales is the shopping center at Châtelet-Les-Halles, which has all the latest hot brands, as well as a large movie theater and restaurants. This shopping center is a snap to reach by public transit, making it all the more perfect for sale hunters. However, you should be prepared for an incredibly dense crowd during the sales period.
The Les Halles Métro stop on line 1 is the closest station to the mall. You can also get off at the Châtelet stop, which is served by lines 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14.
Not far from the Châtelet center lies the Rue de Rivoli, another recommended spot for shopping the sales. Located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, it stretches nearly two miles and hosts fashion, home decor, sports and cosmetics shops. When you’re done shopping, you can even make a pass through the famous Louvre Museum.
The easiest way to get to the 2018 sales on Rue de Rivoli in Paris is to take Métro line 1 to the Louvre-Rivoli stop or lines 1, 4, 7, 11 or 14 to the Châtelet stop.
This open-air shopping center in the 12th arrondissement on Cour Saint Émilion is mainly a destination for home furnishings, fine foods and creative hobbies. It happens to be an extremely pleasant place to shop the sales because you can enjoy fresh air and quiet, far from the noise of cars, and spend time on the patios of the numerous bars and restaurants.
Bercy Village awaits you on the banks of the Seine in southeast Paris. The Bercy Métro stop off lines 6 and 14, is a half-mile from the shopping center. You can also exit line 14 at the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand stop.
Just outside Paris, you can shop the immense Quatre Temps shopping mall at La Défense, which is open year-round and during the sales. You could also make a trip to Val d’Europe, the gigantic shopping center in Marne-la-Vallée, or So Ouest, the latest addition in Levallois-Perret.
Finally, not far from Val d’Europe and quite close to Disneyland Paris, there’s La Vallée Village, an outdoor outlet mall. It features over 100 shops and 120 brands, most of which are high-end, that offer discounted prices all year long on collections from previous seasons. La Vallée Village Outlet is a pleasant outdoor setting with narrow, shop-lined streets reminiscent of French villages.
