Newsletter NO ONE CAN RESIST MINUS 50 ! Bonjour Parismarais readers, It’s January in Paris and that means it’s time to celebrate the winter sales! On the official start date, January 7th, thousands of shoppers were waiting in line at their favorite shops to take advantage of savings of 50% off and sometimes even 70% off! This year will be especially great because of the “crisis.” Many shops have to get sell their remaining winter stock which is rather high this year—one more great reason to come to Paris right now. Plus, you can get discounts at most hotels and on apartment rentals, too. What perfect timing for the Paris Tourist Office to launch its new motto, “Soldes by Paris,” to encourage foreign visitors to shop throughout Paris, and especially in le Marais where all the most creative shops are located—you’ll find lots of great tips at http://www.shoppingbyparis.com/ This site offers helpful information about how to navigate the sales and includes a shopping book with itineraries in five categories: La Classique (formal), La Trendy (young and smart), La Bobochic (bohemian bourgeois), La Creative and La Fusion Fashion World (new trends). But the best idea for shopping the sales is to check out each street in le Marais with the help of the newly published PARIS MARAIS MAPS. You’ll find this useful map at the Paris Tourist Office, at 200 luxury hotels in central Paris, and at hundreds of selected boutiques and restaurants. If you own a restaurant or a hotel in Paris and want to receive PARIS MARAIS MAPS for your clients, just write us and we’ll have them delivered to you. We also encourage you to visit our men’s shopping selection and watch the fashion show we filmed for Pierre Talamon’s new collection. The shopping tips at the Paris Tourist Office are mostly for women, so this one is only for you guys…visit http://www.parismarais.com/mens-wear.htm. To make your Paris shopping walk even more enjoyable, read on for a list of bars and restaurants you must discover all along the way. Make a stop for lunch or teatime and do not miss trying a galette des rois. A popular French tradition enjoyed at this time of year is the galette des rois (royal cake) which has been an institution in France since the Middle Ages.
