Many of you may know about les soldes, but for those of you who don’t: les soldes happens two times a year-once in July and once in January/February (aka now). During this time stores have ridiculous sales, up to 70% off high quality clothes, shoes, accessories, everything. Rue St. Catherine (that swanky street I talked about earlier) is completely packed now during this time because everyone is shop-shop-shopping! My friends and I have been walking around and doing a little bit of shopping ourselves, but we realize that we have to do this during the middle of the day because after work the street is packed from side to side. It is absolutely crazy! Some of these sales are really amazing though, and they keep getting better and better, apparently during the 3-5 of February, everything gets marked down again at least another 30%! France is pretty cool when it comes to purchasing things too because there is no tax, if the tag says 10 euros, that’s what you pay, not 11.34 or something silly like that. I hope that I can do a little shopping here while the sales are going because these reductions are ridiculous!
