Paris has a lot of crazy and hip bars. I advise you to pre-game at your apartment. Since most serve alcoholic beverages at expensive prices.

Paris Shopping Guide
Paris
is where you can find the cheapest designer bags in the world. I’ve seen the
prices and it is cheaper by 30,000 PHp compared to the ones sold in Philippines
or even Hongkong.
I
am not a fan of these designer bags but I am of Long Champ.
The
cheapest Long Champ I found was at the Airport. I bought a limited
edition middle size Le Pliage and it was only 58 Euros
which is already tax free. Buy it at the airport so that you would not be
hassled by looking for it all over Paris instead of just seeing Paris.
