What to buy for a trip to Paris, France?

For most tourists, the things worth buying in Paris can be roughly divided into several categories: big-name luxury goods, local second-tier brands in France, French cosmeceuticals, French fashion fast-moving brands and various snacks.

The first category: big-name luxury goods. Pricing is the same throughout the euro zone. The advantage of Paris lies in its large storefront, many branches and relatively complete styles (such as the famous LV flagship store on the Champs Elysé es), but sometimes it is even easier to be out of stock than other places because of the unusually large number of buyers.

Tip: If your trip includes other countries and Paris is the last stop, don't leave all the big names in Paris to buy, and then make a decisive move when you see the styles you want to buy in other places.

The second category, French local second-line brands. Don't say that American and Japanese brands may not have a price advantage in Europe. Even many German and Italian brands are not cheap in France. Of course, if you don't plan to go to other countries, you can buy it in Paris. But it is absolutely cost-effective to buy French local products like Lancel and Longchamp in Paris.

Tip: La Vallee Village, a famous valley shopping village, is one of the nine outlets in Europe. It is a subway ride from Disneyland, and it is the cheapest place to buy Longchamp in the world.

The third category, French cosmeceuticals. This category is a product that I seriously recommend to buy, but the disadvantage is obvious, that is, it takes up a lot of luggage and can't buy too much, which is a pity. In addition to famous brands such as Avene, Vichy, la roche-posay and L 'Occur, there are many very good cosmeceutical brands in France. FILORGA, LIERAC and CAUDALIE are especially recommended. They are only sold in pharmacies, and the quality is not lost, and the price is very close to the people (see 8 for details of this special cosmeceutical).

Tip: The green cross is the symbol of the drugstore. If you see it, you can buy it at buy buy. European pharmacies are basically independent, in other words, they all have independent pricing power, so the price of cosmeceuticals in each pharmacy will be different, but the gap will not be too big except for special events. It is not recommended to buy a single item alone because a store is cheap, because in France, you can only get a tax refund if you buy more than 175 euros in the same store on the same day, so try to buy things with low unit price in one store.

The fourth category, fast-moving brands. French clothes are more suitable for Asian figure, especially pants, and you don't even have to cut the trouser legs when buying them (in Germany, it is probably difficult for Asian girls to buy pants without changing their trouser legs). If you catch up with the discount season, you can buy a lot of clothes and shoes that suit you and are not well-known but cost-effective.

The fifth category, snacks. For girls who love snacks, I just want to say, buy as much as you like until your suitcase can't hold it. Compared with all kinds of imported snacks that can be bought through various channels in China, the price in Europe is really the same as free delivery. I really don't know what else to say except to buy it at buy buy.

Tip: There is a Swiss lotus opposite the entrance of the Paris Opera House. There are many kinds of chocolates. If you are interested, you can also buy all kinds of chocolate ice cream to try. Carrefour also has many biscuits, chocolates and canned meat, all of which are worth a try.

Say what to buy and where to buy.

The purchasing power of Chinese people in Paris is quite high, so almost all major brands have Chinese shopping guides, and communication is not a problem at all. The brands of Galeries Lafayette, Paris Spring and Champs Elysé es are all distributed on the Internet, so I won't go into details.

Tip: The shopping experience in Paris in spring is much better than that in Galeries Lafayette. There are too many tour groups in the main Galeries Lafayette, and there are n long queues for everything. If Paris has time in spring, I suggest going to the third floor, where there are all kinds of exquisite stationery, porcelain, silverware, high-grade tea chocolate and so on.

Valley village is not much to say. Anyway, European outlets are not much different. Remember to use your passport and UnionPay card to get a 10% discount coupon, which is universal in the whole village. Everyone can participate except the discount.
