Lifestyle and Shopping in Paris

By symone - Posted on 03 December 2009

Paris offers a romantic, exciting lifestyle for expats to enjoy, with hundreds of first-class restaurants, some of the best shopping on earth and a stylish nightlife scene - expats in Paris definitely won’t be pushed for ideas of what to do in Paris with their free time!

Browse the boutiques along Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré for some of the best in haute couture, or Rue Etienne Marcel for chic fashions. Champs-Elysées is home to a number of malls, as well as the famous Guerlain Parfumerie, and Les Halles underground mall has cheap fakes and trendy clothes on sale. There are a couple of great flea markets near the city gates to peruse, and open-air markets throughout the city trading in fresh produce, flowers and clothing.

A night out in Paris offers no end of entertainment. Start the evening at one of the bars in Marais or Bastille, which also has great cafés, clubs and music venues to frequent. A must in Champs-Elysees is Johnny Depp’s Man Ray Club, and the famous Moulin Rouge in Pigalle is known for its entertaining cancan shows. Also, the Opera Garnier hosts the Ballet de l’Opera National de Paris. Faire la fête!
