shopping and shows in Paris next weekend!

Bonjour!

Can anyone recommend a good area in Paris to go shopping without spending a fortune...and a good outdoor market for food/jewellery/shoes etc?

Also, can anyone recommend a show or musical/dancing spectacle night (Ive already been to Moulin Rouge which was amazing) to do...also any lovely french bars or taverns in the latin quarter?

Thanks!

A good area to shop without spending a fortune are the streets on the back of Printemps and Galeries Lafayette. Rue Saint Lazare for example. Rue du Havre, Rue Chaussee d%26#39;Antin and others in that general area also have good prices.

Blvd Haussmann has a Zara, an H%26amp;M and a variety of %26quot;affordable%26quot; stores.

There is a show called the Salon des Realities Nouvelles - The Parc Floral de Paris is a green oasis on the outskirts of Paris, and in April it brings contemporary and abstract art to the fore at the annual Salon des Réalités Nouvelles. Over 400 well-known and up-and-coming artists reveal the latest trends in the abstract world through their works.

hopefully this helps

Galeries Lafayette - The most famous and the most spectacular of Parisian department stores. The only store where you will find big brands (often exclusively) like Armani, Chanel, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Prada, Sonia Rykiel, Thierry Mugler, on fully-refurbished floors entirely given over to women’s fashion. Rediscover the pleasures of browsing along the spacious alleys among all these brands

hope this can help!

There are several outlets located rue d%26#39;Alésia in the 14th (métro Alésia on line 4, then get west). Big names such as Sonia Rykiel and Cacharel at reduced prices, and also cheap clothes and shoes.

You may also find good bargains at these shops:

Chercheminippes %26quot;empire%26quot; for men, women, and babies 102, 109, 110, 111, and 124 Rue du Cherche-Midi, 6th

Mouton à Cinq Pattes : 8 and 18 Rue Saint Placide, 6th
