I live next to a groovy and chic modern home store. They sell things like over priced union jack bed spreads and silver little teddy bears as well as huge funky wall clocks. When I first saw the SOLDES sticker, I thought that item had been sold and was waiting for its new owner to pick it up.
Now I know SOLDES means sale. And what sales Paris have! Nearly every shop has 50% off.
I bought my first pair of Addidas shoes, 40% off from €49.99
