I would add that Paris has some of the best secondhand shops for luxury goods! Some vintage and some brand new stuff!

[@anneyanga-teodosio6216]

Merci. Très informatif

Love this video, extremely helpful! I always hear that you should wait to shop when you get to the airport. But I’m assuming the airport wouldn’t have the same sales. Also do you know if both Paris and Milan have these sales? Trying to decide where to shop between the two. Thank you so much for your help.

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Hello Paris yes ad they are coming in January! Milan I don't know when!

[@user-xb3id6pz9k]

La Vallee is such a fun day out ❤ my sister who lives in Geneva permanently has taken me there a few times when I visit her from Australia. We spend a long weekend in Paris together just her & I. 🙏

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Yes spending the whole day they have also great restaurants

[@dream.whip.cream.]

we love you

[@LizLyonsPhD]

Great tips, Alice. First of all, I am only planning to visit Europe in the winter from now on. I just had some friends come back from Italy and they complained that it was packed with Americans, as well as being hot. If I want heat and Americans, I can stay home! As for the other tips, I knew about the VAT but not the sales nor Vallee Village. I would drive there, as I usually rent a car when I am in Europe. Thank you!

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Thank you Liz the winter sales start after christmas for 4 weeks long. There are usually great deals, adding the Valle Village discounted prices and VAT there are way to save money. I did Valle Village a few years ago during the sales and I bought Loro Piana, Tods, Moncler.

[@LizLyonsPhD]

@@Aliceinparisofficial I was planning on a February trip but maybe I could move it to the end of January. I love Loro Piana in particular. I plan to drive from Paris to Lyon, and then on to Milan.

[@sriramyam6089]

Hi, we are planning to visit Paris in this year Nov end/early Dec. Will there be any offers during that time?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

@@sriramyam6089 Vallee village have deals all year long but the sales start in January

[@andrea.on.the.go1]

So helpful thank you Alice! Could you also explain where we could get discounted “top brands” (Chanel, Hermes..) during Soldes?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Go to department stores like Galerie Lafayette or printemps

[@racheltay252]

Thanks for the tips Alice. U mentioned during summer sale Chanel will hv discount of up to 40% off, is this applicable for the accessories only? I cannot imagine Chanel bags ( seasonal mini flaps) on sale. Another question, do we need to include original receipt in the Global Blue Tax Free Form n envelop when we mail documents over for tax refund processing?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Yes accessories and shoes. No, keep the original receipt with you!

[@nessycristina9936]

J'adore ton chemisier, je peux te demander d'où il vient ? ❤

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

sezane

[@claudia5446]

Great info! J'ai l'impression que vous maitrisez cette domaine (financier)❤

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Oui 😊

[@minneapaulis]

What if Paris isn’t my last stop in the EU? Paris is midway in our trip in a few months but I want to buy in Paris. Do I do the tax refund in Paris or in my last EU country?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

hello I believe the last stop of your return. I will make a VAT guide in Paris video

[@y.washington9382]

Great question I was thinking the same thing. Also if it best to shop at the airport on the last day or it doesn’t matter?

[@cbond2229]

Love your blouse! ❤ Do you hsve a link? Brand name?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Jordana blouse Sezane but out of stock these days

[@cbond2229]

It looks beautiful on you!

[@nd151022]

Hi , does it safe to carry designer bags or jewelry in paris ?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

nothiing expensive be careful

[@dianayuningtias6665]

I heard that Outlet store bring less quality stuff than the Boutique. Is that true?

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

It is what they said but I can’t confirm. I bought tods in outlet and I have no issue….

[@Nohbuddy2]

How do you know if the items at the Outlets are items sold at the flagship stores or “made for the Outlets”, which are lower quality.

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Nothing is made for la vallée village …. Very different compared to the US because in France we don’t have the outlet culture. Flagship stores send their unsold collection which they update every 3 months

[@sheonlydances]

I have seen Burberry trench coats made in China, with a high percentage of polyester, that were sold in La Vallee. Maybe I am wrong, but I don’t think the boutiques in London or Zurich have ever sold them. I assume that there are some items, that are made for the outlets. With Tod‘s and Ralph Lauren I have always seen the good quality clothes.

[@patriciasandoval3624]

Buying at Vallee Village still can I request the VAT tax return? Thanks

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

yes

[@patriciasandoval3624]

Thanks! Gracias!

[@belladammrose6573]

La Vallee Village. She said it so fast. I was like what?

[@beccascorner428]

Je ne savais pas que Chanel fait de soldes?!

[@Aliceinparisofficial]

Department stores do Chanel sales (shoes and accessoires) there are also private sales if you are a customer
