From miniature boutiques on zigzag cobblestoned streets to some of the biggest department stores in the world, Paris is a shopoholic's dream. The French saying for window shopping " lécher les vitrines" translates to "licking the windows", and even if you don't live to shop, we assurance that you'll be engrossed by the artistic manner that shopkeepers exhibit their items. One stroll down the famed Avenue des Champs-Élysées and you will understand why Paris has been named one of the fashion capitals of the world. If high-end fashion is out of your budget, check out the city's biggest louse market, dating all the way back to the 19th century. Wine, perfume, chocolates, Limoges china, Provencal soaps and olive oil--these are the stuffs one can take home from France.
