Stylish and fun – the Paris winter sales 2015

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year from the team at Hotel Sophie Germain. The warm contemporary ambience of the hotel offers you an elegant haven in the heart of the 14th arrondissement, making it the perfect base for the Parisian winter sales. The sales begin on January 7th and the hotel’s proximity to the shopping mall at the foot of the Montparnasse Tower and the many retail outlets along Rue de Rennes allow you to plan a stylish and satisfying shopping break.

Parisians adore the winter sales, and people come from all over the city to source special items or select spring clothing at the most attractive prices. From the cool designer boutiques of St-Germain-des-Pres to the wonderful Bon Marche Rive Gauche department store you’ll find an eclectic range of shops and stores within easy reach of Hotel Sophie Germain.

The winter sales are back. Take advantage of the hotel’s excellent Left Bank location to find terrific discounts on beautiful one of a kind pieces or the latest looks from your favourite high street brands. The Montparnasse Tower is an inspired choice for a day of bargain hunting during the sales, and one of its biggest draws is the Galeries Lafayette department store. Opened in 1972, the Montparnasse branch of Galeries Lafayette follows in the tradition of the world’s finest department stores and you’ll find everything from linen to lingerie at exclusive sale prices.

Close to the tower, boulevard Saint-Germain is one of the finest shopping streets in the city and you’ll find couturiers such as Christian Dior, Sonia Rykiel, Carven, Karl Lagerfeld and Ralph Lauren taking winter sales shopping to a new level. On nearby rue de Rennes major high street brands like Gap, Kookai and H&M attract a young, fashionable clientele who come for the vibrant atmosphere and amazing seasonal offers on one of the city’s longest streets.

Don’t miss Bon Marche Rive Gauche at Place Sevres Babylon. Le Bon Marche has the distinction of being the first department store in Paris and among the first in the world. Founded in 1838 and a department store since about 1850, Le Bon Marche is now owned by luxury group LVMH. Renowned for its excellent food hall and high end designer products, the store beautifully illustrates the chic nature of winter sales shopping on the fashionable left bank of the capital.
