You usually read on our blog that Paris is the city of fashion, arts, literature … But do not forget that shopping has a special place in the city of light! Thus, organizing a small shopping trip to Paris can be healthy, even life-saving, to escape the daily life 😉
Hotel des 2 Continents gives you some ideas for your shopping trip to Paris.
Choosing a hotel in the heart of the city in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and why not Hotel des 2 Continents, is essential. Indeed, you will need to access easily the various places and especially to quickly return with your arms full of bags! Then you need a neighborhood where to wear your new outfits. Nothing like a trendy restaurant or a terrace to show off its purchases. Go to the Ralph’s garden, boulevard Saint-Germain, or to Café La Palette, rue de Seine after your shopping time.
What will be the style of your shopping trip in Paris? Luxury side, no need to leave Saint-Germain-des-Pres, when Louis Vuitton, Sonia Rykiel or Louboutin populate the neighborhood. Take a trip to the must-see Bon Marché Rive Gauche. This is the first department store to have been created in Paris. The architecture does not spoil anything, you will appreciate the place and the marks that settled there. Take the opportunity to discover the Grande Epicerie. A jewel! You will find fresh fish, Italian pasta, truffles of course, and even exotic fruits that are rarely found in the capital!
A shopping trip to Paris could be summed up in rue de Rennes, Galeries Lafayette and Printemps Haussmann, but it is so nice to dive into the streets to find small addresses. Leather bags at Paul Marius, furniture at Fleux or jewels at Diwali, strolling is the sweetest way to find the rare pearl.
Moreover, Summer Sales have just started, it is high time to organize a shopping trip to Paris! Let’s book your room at Hotel des 2 Continents …
