Make no tips, hands or buts about it, “Les soldes d’hiver 2013″ are in full swing in Paris. They began on January 9 and will last through Tuesday, February 12. So this week, I’ve decided to wear my dark felt tour guide hat, and create a special excursion. Swagnificent miles, here we come.
Ticket to Ride
The “80″ bus line connects two of my favorite shopping districts in the city: …
Dear readers, you cannot afford to miss out on posts from the delighful Ms Theadora Brack - this one makes me feel as if I am actually doing this shopping excursion with her - the fabulous photography , intelligent commentary and just plain useful information will draw you in too - if you are intending to visit Paris and love to shop, then this may be the post for you! While you are there, take a look at some more of Ms Brack's engaging comments - they have the light-heartedness of youth about them, yet are obviously based on a thorough knowledge of, and love for, the city that captured my heart within minutes of arriving there.

Whoa. What sweet words!! Thank you for shout-out and super cool feature. I really appreciate the support. I loved your introduction, of course. Of course! How could I not?! As always, thanks for YOUR positive energy. It’s contagious! Say, I dig the bottom shot! Paris is a wonderful city. Yes, I am hooked. Enjoy the week! And again, thank you. Theadora (Do you have a favorite shopping nook in Paris?)
The bottom shot is from our 2007 visit – we shopped very little as we only had a few days and spend most of our time walking the streets, gazing in wonderment at what we were seeing. We didn’t even make it to the top fo the Eiffel tower as the lift was broken, the queues were huge and the wait was long ( 2 hours we waited but had to leave as we were booked on the Seine cruise, which was wonderful). Our visit next year will entail a little more shopping to be sure, especially as I will be with a good friend who loves to shop as much as me …I certainly want to visit the big department stores and look at second hand shops which I love. Keep up the good work. You are a breath of fresh air…..
