Shopping in Paris: what to buy?

Responsible information department of the "Subtlety of Tourism"
Traveling to Paris is unthinkable without shopping. All the famous brands of French casual wear in Paris can be bought two or three times cheaper, there are a lot of shops, and the choice of goods is huge.

Stores of famous brands can be found at Alesia metro station. Tourists are usually not there, but branded goods can be bought at half price. In the Sentier quarter, there are a lot of shops selling French goods at factory prices. In the famous Parisian flea markets, not only vintage is sold, but new things can be bought here.

Souvenirs in Paris, as in all tourist cities, cost a little more than the attractions and are slightly cheaper in the markets and outskirts of the city. From souvenirs usually buy an image of the Eiffel Tower on T-shirts, magnets, etc., perfume in the Fragonard perfume museum, watercolors or lithographs with views of Paris, cheese, wine, a can of goose liver (foie gras) or Dijon mustard, cheese and chocolate.
