What Are Your Recommendations When Visiting Paris for Shopping, Sightseeing and Eating?
Paris is the best city in the world in our opinion. There is so much to do, see, and experience. Of course, the shopping is always first on our to do list. And it will never disappoint. Not only are the prices generally less than in the U.S. and other countries, but the selection, styles, and service is top notch.
When you are done shopping (are we ever really done?), there are so many sights, events, exhibits, shows, restaurants, museums, and beautiful places to fill your time in Paris.
Dear PurseBop has assembled a handy list, by no means complete, but it highlights many places to include in your itinerary if time permits.
