2011 Paris Sales Friday, Jan 14 2011 

A great way to start this new year off is the winter Paris sales. No matter where you are there are sales galore. Even the little boutiques have excellent deals and bargains. Boutiques are not the only places with the deals though. The department stores like Printemps, Galleries Lafayette, and Bon Marche are excellent places to shop. “La Vallee Village”, which is located just about thirty minutes outside of Paris, is a designer outlet mall with sales at excellent prices. The France sales are even spreading overseas to Martinique, Mayotte, Guadeloupe, and Guiana. However, these sales don’t last forever. These winter Paris sales are going on starting on January 12th – February 6th, 2011.
