3 reasons why Paris’ La Vallée Village is a must-visit for shopaholics - SilverKris
"An open-air luxury outlet village about 40 minutes from central Paris and five minutes from the Disney parks, this boutique destination clusters over 110 French and international fashion and accessory labels along tree-lined pedestrian streets and pastel-fronted low-rise buildings, creating a postcard-like shopping environment. Shoppers can find cutting-edge and heritage names such as J.M. Weston, N.Peal, Lancel, ba&sh, Paul Smith, The Kooples and Hackett London, alongside children’s wear and accessories. The experience is positioned as five-star and stress-free, with luxury coach and shuttle links, a multilingual concierge, hands-free shopping (hold purchases at boutiques for later collection), free Wi‑Fi, a VIP lounge, phone‑charging stations, shipping services and personal shoppers. Pricing is transparent—original and outlet prices are shown—and year-round discounts on last-season collections typically start around a third off and can reach up to about 60% depending on season and boutique; non-EU visitors can also claim tax-free refunds (around 12% back on purchases over €100 per boutique). During the holiday season the village is festively decorated and hosts events from gospel choirs and DJ sets to workshops, parades and late-night parties; it is open seven days a week and is served by the Shopping Express shuttle from Bercy and the RER A Val d’Europe station a short walk away. Frequent flyers of Singapore Airlines can earn 1.25 miles per euro spent." - Ink Creative Studios
