Paris de mes amours


My weekend in Paris was great.I really luv that city, it makes you feel so much alive.It gives me the feeling there are suprises to be found around each corner.
The first day was a bit annoying.My morning flight was cancelled and the next air france flight which i took from Amsterdam was delayed for one and a half hours so i arrivedat Charles de Gaulle airport at 2pm.But that wasnt the end of my misery,Air France had left the luggage behind in Amsterdam because they forgot to load 2 containers and had to send it with the next flight in, another 2 hours lost.So i finally reached my hotel around 5.30 pm
The weekend i spent visiting the great Paris sales.Found a really good bargain at Gucci at 50% discount and at the Dior boutique i bought my favourite mens cologne thats only sold there.Burberry s had a lot left of the Prorsum collection but at 40% discount i gave it a miss.Next stop was the Avenue Montaigne were there was a special Dior sale.Some nice sneakers but no size left.At Prada i discovered some nice loafers but my feet are too wide for these narrow italian shoes.
Last stop, the Palais de Congres where the Hermes sale was in full swing.Funny to sea piles of silk Hermes shawls in carton boxes and everybody grabbing and searching (esp. lots of older japanese and chinese tourists ).As this was the last day of the sale not many nice items were left.So i bought a small silk mens scarf in Hermes orange which i found a steal at 54 euro.At wallets and other leather accesories counter only few pieces were left and the only wallet in orange i liked was 600 euro, still a steap price for a simple wallet
After a short rest in hotel we went for dinner at the Brasserie Wepler were we took the big fruits de mer plate with lots of oysters, shrimps, crab and other seafood.Simply yummy!
Last day was spent in the Lafayette and Printemps department stores.I really didnt find anything i liked overthere as most items were already gone in the first days of the sales.Next time i will be there at the first day of the sales as i can imagine that one can find some really good bargains and nice goodies
I certainly will be back in January for the winter sales!
