Happy Shopping!

No one knows more about shopping in Paris than Rachel Kaplan, especially how to find the chicest of chic at the best of the bargains.

"Paris is the city for timeless bargain chic, in almost any category, and that is the specialty of this guide – to ferret out those shopping bargains that make you feel like a million dollars without spending anything close to that.

Rachel Kaplan I'd bet there are a lot of people who still believe that Paris is the most expensive city in the world! Not true. There is little or next to nothing that they can afford to bring home, apart from an Eiffel Tower key chain and a bottle of Chanel No.5.

My intention with this guide is to prove that by taking tips from the French themselves, visitors to Paris can come home feeling both chic and happy knowing their checking accounts haven't gone into the red."

Your Comments

"Thank you so very much. I feel like my Best Friend told me all her secrets about having a great time shopping in Paris! Just returned and it was magnifique! Your guide was great!!!"
Jacqueline Terrieau

"Thanks, the download of the guide went well, and we are delighted. We have made nearly 2 dozen trips to Paris (from a day to a month) over the past 20 years. The quality of the writing and taste is splendid. There are some familiar venues, and some surprising ones right under our neighborhood (6th) nose. Merci!"
Alan Fridkin, Westfield, MA

"The guide is incredible. It has so much info! I think it's going to be the best source I've invested in yet! I've spent a lot of money on other guides and wouldn't have if I'd found Best Buys earlier."
Cassandra Cramer, Ben Lomond, California USA

"Merci! I used to live in Paris and have a friend coming next week. I couldn't have asked for a more complete and down-to-earth guide. I'm sure it will be of great benefit to her. Encore merci,"
Kriss Warrick, San Diego, California USA

"The guide is wonderful, informative and well worth the price."
Nicole Costantini
