We went to the largest flea market on earth called the Marche Aux Puces, then visited the Galleries Lafayette, a huge department store with designer "shops" for some of the worlds biggest brands like Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Longchamp, Lancel and Gucci. In order to browse in these little shops, you had to stand in a line guided by a velvet rope. And they only let a few people in the shop at once, so you better be ready to look quick and plunk down hundreds of Euros even quicker.
Today, I walked amongst $5 scarves, knock-off Nike sweatshirts, $50K rings and $2K handbags. Talk about a day of extremes. All in all, it was an interesting day shared with hundreds and hundreds of other people all flooding into the market and the department store for a little after Christmas retail therapy.
Just one more day in the city of love and lights. It will be sad to go. Alas, we have to show London a little love.
Eat your hearts out browsing the pics below.
