Number 5 of the top 5 places to shop in Paris: La Défense


 

La Défense is in Nanterre, you can go there with the RER A, it’s a big and modern mall, but its shops are, for most of them, international such as Zara, H&M, Uniqlo. You can find pretty much anything there: books, clothes, food. It’s very similar to big American malls.

Number 4 of the top 5 places to shop in Paris: BHV

The BHV is a mall next to the Hôtel de ville, you can go there by the bus or the metro “hôtel de ville”. The BHV is separated in three parts, one is dedicated to animals (yes, you read that, a place with little coats for your dog!); the other one is dedicated to men, and the last one, the bigest one, is for women, make up, perfume, accessorizes, house, decorations, etc. Pretty much for everything (except animals and men…)

It has a very large choice of brands for any prices, and you can eat at the last floor of the building (which provides you a nice point of view of Paris if you can seat next to the windows!) Moreover it is very well situated in the Marais.
