It’s likely that you didn’t travel specifically to shop in Paris, but if we’re honest with ourselves, each of us “sins” occasionally by glancing at stores abroad. In Paris, men and women are dressed with great taste and the shop windows are wonderful. Therefore, Paris is considered a paradise for shopping, but it is also one of the most expensive cities in the world. In any case, have your credit cards and bank manager ready.

Shopping in Paris – Important Information and Sales 2025

You can shop in all the districts of Paris. Each district has its own commercial character, and each of us has our own specific shopping needs and desires. At first glance, it seems that almost everything in Paris is defined as TRES CHER (very expensive), but with the right approach, a little knowledge, and a little patience, you can definitely get decent things at quite reasonable prices.

Paris offers a variety of shopping options: large malls, old and famous department stores, huge markets and small neighborhood markets, Passages Antiques and numerous small shops on popular streets for shopping.

Our shopping is usually done in two main ways: one, with precise planning in advance, and the other – when we happen to come across a spectacular shop window that invites us to come inside. Paris specializes in designing such windows, so the temptation is often great. Dozens of branches of famous chains that are also sold in Israel are scattered throughout Paris. Among them: Zara, Mango, H&M, Adidas, Celio, Gap, Urban Outfitters and more.

Before you rush out to buy, it's a good idea to compare prices with what's being sold in Israel. It won't always be cheaper in Paris. During the big sales period – definitely yes. The big sales (Soldes) take place in Paris twice a year – in January and July. The exact dates are dictated by the authorities:

• Winter Sales 2025: Starting on January 8 and ending on February 11, 2025.
• Summer 2025 Sales: Expected to start at the end of June.

(More information can be found in the article Shopping in Paris: The Sales You Can't Miss).

Paris is divided by the Seine into the Left Bank (southern) and the Right Bank (northern). Those with a sense of humor know how to say that the Left Bank is the bank for people who think (due to the large number of universities there), while the Right Bank is the bank for people who shop (due to the large number of large department stores). Indeed, most commerce is conducted on the Right Bank, which is more lively and has more diverse shopping options.

Before we start talking about the different stores in Paris, let me address two questions about shopping that come up all the time.Groups dealing with Paris On Facebook:

Opening hours of stores in Paris

Most stores are open Monday-Saturday from 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. to 19:00 or 19:30 p.m. In recent years, large department stores and some malls have also been open on Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 19:00 p.m.

VAT Refund for Buyers in Paris – Updated for 2025

Please note an important update: The threshold for receiving a tax refund has dropped significantly in recent years. Today, if you made purchases costing more than100 Euros Per purchase (instead of 175 euros previously), you can receive a tax refund at the Paris airport from which you will return to Israel. To do this, you must meet two conditions:

First, the purchase must be made at a store that offers a tax refund. How do you know if a store offers a tax refund? Very simple. Look for the Global Blue symbol at the entrance to the store. You can shop day after day after day at the same store or brand, as long as the amount reaches 100 euros. You don't have to do it in one purchase, but it must be consistent.

The second condition is to fill out a tax refund form, which can be requested from the store (they will usually ask you for a passport, so come equipped with a photocopy of your passport on your phone).

After you have done this, go to the Tax Refund counter at the airport and they will give you an envelope in which to put all the receipts with the forms from the stores you bought in. Most terminals now have digital PABLO stations that save you the line – just scan the barcode.

You will usually receive the money within about 30 business days to your credit card.

After we're done with the managers, let's move on to the "main course" and start talking about the recommended stores in the different districts of Paris.

In this store, overlooking the Tuileries Gardens, you will find books in French at the front, but if you go inside you will discover an excellent selection of books in English. Personally, there is hardly a trip to Paris where I don't pop in here for a quick hour.
