Nice roundup- I didn’t do any shopping when I first visited Paris as I was a young backpacker, but maybe I should head back now ;-)
Absolutely – nothing beats the shopping experience in Paris! And it can be done on a budget too :)
All stylish to core! There was a hole in my pocket by the time I got to Eiffel Tower in Paris! Guess I need to save again! :)
Definitely! It’s such a fabulous feeling knowing your shopping in the fashion capitol of the world! And it doesn’t have to leave a hole in your pocket this time :D
This is quite the round-up of shopping spots! I’ll have to see if some are a reasonable train ride from Bordeaux, where I live. Sounds like my pocket book might be getting some exercise!
Nothing beats shopping in Paris – should definitely plan for a bit of a girls weekend / shopping trip :D! Side note – what a fabulous place to live re Bordeaux!
Is there any better city to shop in that Paris? Definitely a great round up of shops here!
I think not :D! Let me know if you find one!
I remember being in Paris back before the euro, shopping in a Sephora (when it was only in France) and getting the BEST deals ever. My how times have changed. Glad to see that there are still corners of Paris where a fantastic deal is still waiting to be found :)
There are definitely still corners where you can find a fantastic deal. Hope you have the chance to visit again soon :)
Wow! What a terrific list of affordable shopping in Paris. You must have done a lot of research. I’ll bookmark it for our next visit.
Thanks Sue – glad we could help :)
What a comprehensive list of discount stores. You definitively did not miss any discount stores for the fashion lovers. I’ve only been to the one in Troyes on your list and will certainly check out the others on our future trips to Paris. Nice job!
Hope you have the chance to plan a return visit soon and check out the others :)
What a comprehensive list of discount stores. You did an excellent job with the list of stores. I have never been to Paris however, this blog makes me want to go.
Thanks Kecia :) Hope you have the chance to plan a trip to Paris soon!
I’ve never been to Paris and I’m not really a shopping-kind-of-girl. But still, I would love to visit Ding-Fring, it seems like a great shop and I absolutely love the name. This is a great roundup of what seems to be great shopping though and if I end up in Paris and feel like shopping, I’ll remember your post.
Glad you enjoyed the post Helena :) I’m not generally a big shopping person either, though Paris is one of those cities that puts you in the mood! And there are stores for absolutely every budget and style :)
I would never think discount shopping in Paris! This is a wonderful list! I’m not a big name label shopper, but would love to say I got something from Paris. I think Misitgriff would be a fun place to look for a great find. Thanks for sharing this great list of shopping options.
It’s one of those destinations where it’s definitely fun to return home being able to say you shopped there. Can find some fabulous gems at Misitgriff for sure.
Glad you enjoyed the post Nancie – hope you have the chance to include some shopping on your next Paris trip :)
Wow, what a great post! Didn’t know these discounted places exist in Paris1d Thank you very much!
Can be easy to assume it’s an expensive destination, but in fact there are many discounts to be found!

Thanks Amanda, I’m glad the post was helpful for you. Happy shopping! Hope you pick up some great discounts :)
Would be in Paris ending of June 2018. Where can I get quality yet affordable place to shop women clothings and shoes with a moderate Hôtel close by too. Thank you and looking forward to your feedback.
Hi Alice :) There are mid range hotels in almost every quarter of Paris, so I would chose where you want to shop, and then search for a hotel in the same quarter. If any of the shops we have listed above sound like you, you can copy and paste the location into Google, click on “Maps”, and then once you’ve got the map view there will be a button called “Nearby” click that and write “hotels”. It then brings up all of the hotels around that location with the prices :)
Hope that helps!
Hello I am traveling to Paris at the end of July. Where would be the best places to shop for clothes and shoes, scarves especially. I will being staying at the Pullman in Bercy
Hi Brandi, you’re staying in the 12th Arrondissement – in the same area you have Bercy Village which is worth a stop. This is an open-air plaza with a range of fashion and lifestyle boutiques. The 12th arrondissment is also right next to the 4th which has a great range of shopping – the Le Marais neighborhood in particular has a lot of trendy boutiques and vintage shops.
In terms of scarves, Diwali Paris is a great shop in the 3rd district, also look for Monoprix and Catherine B.
Have a great time in Paris!
Thank you this was so helpful!
Awesome :) Have a great trip!
You have amazing writing skills. Great article! I will definitely try these places for my next shopping. Thanks for sharing the wonderful article.
Thanks Sofia, I’m glad the article was helpful for you :)
Discount shopping calculation
This app calculates the discount of a price quickly and easily. In addition, it allows to compare the quantity / price ratio, between 2 products, thus determining which product allows a greater savings. It also allows to store and share the operations performed, both by mail, WhatsApp, among others. Thus becoming a great tool infaltable in your mobile device.
Thanks for the heads up Juan, it sounds like a great app :)
Going to Paris in May 2019 and looking forward to the shopping. Thank you so much for this info. Staying at the La Clef Louvre.
Fabulous Karen, I’m glad we could help out :) Have an amazing trip – happy shopping!
Thank you so much for this! We are road tripping on our way to Paris and just got to our first stop and realized that I left all my bras except the one I’m wearing hanging in the laundry room!! I needed a Walmart like place to find something for the meantime!! You’re a lifesaver!!
You’re welcome Mamaj, so glad the post was helpful for you. I hope you found what you needed :)
Enjoy Paris!
My wife & I are going to Paris in June which would be 30 years since we last visited as crazy young backpackers doing everything on the cheap & dirty. Back then, we met a lovely Parisian girl who told us about a whole street of factory outlets like Bridge St Richmond was like decades ago, just off the metro stop called Alicia. It was our last day in Paris which was a Monday and nearly everything was closed. However, we do remember buying 2 Danial Hechtar suits & my wife brought 2 dresses which they shipped back to Oz for us. We just cannot remember where the street was and most maps dont show these outlets. Do you know if they are still around?
Hi there, Rue d’Alésia between metro Alésia and rue Didot used to have about 40 outlet stores, it’s been a number of years since I was last there though so I’m not sure if any stores have been affected by COVID shutdowns etc :)
I hope you have a wonderful time in Paris!
