With Vogue founded in 1892 and later in the 1930s when Coco Chanel revolutionized Paris fashion, the city’s fashion industry exploded. Today, Paris is one of the leading fashion destinations in the world and a paradise for those who love shopping. No wonder Paris is home to the World's first department store, Le Bon Marché, founded in 1838, still in operation today.
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a 1.2 mile-long street and considered to be one of the most famous avenues in the World. It features numerous luxury shops, theaters, and cafés. Before it became a fashionable avenue in the late 18th century, the location was occupied mainly by fields and gardens. Don’t skip the nearby Grand Palais with exhibition hall and museum complex and Petit Palais art museum across the street. On the west side, Champs-Élysées ends with the majestic Arc de Triomphe.
If you still want to continue shopping, there are plenty of malls to explore. Visit the Galeries Lafayette department store with an impressive dome stretching over four floors or visit other shopping destinations in the city, like Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville, especially popular during Christmas season, shopping streets or one of many covered passages and galleries.
