January Repeat?
by Barb on April 30, 2009
In case you aren’t aware, France has two major sale periods – the summer sale in July and the winter sale in January – where the savings are crazy and people are crowding the grands boulevards. Well, the government issued another sale period this past week to ameliorate the financial crisis.
Knowing me, I hopped off my Olympic Airlines flight (I spent my two week vacation in Greece) and dashed to the sixteenth arrondisement. To be fair, I only had the intention of going to pick up my coffee at Brûlerie des Ternes along rue de l’Annonciation, and of course, heading to Galeries Lafayette. But I was exhausted and held off until the next day. I wasn’t really amazed by the sale at Galaries Lafayette; sure, there were some good savings to be had but there were no great steals.
The madness was all the same though. Even though I did manage to get a picture of the hordes, it’s only a small portion of it.
