My wife and I are going to Paris for the first time, she plans on shopping a lot, and her favorite store is BCBG, which is from Paris. I'm sure it is all the same, but is there a main store in Paris for BCBG, and where is it, or is it in a mall like any other store?

Try St. Denis, or so I am told. We too are going to Paris the first week in May. Do you have any research you can share? (Restaurants, walking itineraries, anything really). If so, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

No, that's an American company, started in LA by a French expat. The main Paris store (which wasn't opened until years after many US and other country's stores) is on bd de la Madeleine, there is also a boutique in Galeries Lafayette.

There are great European stores called ZARA, a lot like BCBG. Very trendy, good quality. All over the place, you could check the tel. book. It's worth the trip just to go shopping there. Have fun!

Never can remember--what does BCBG stand for in French?<BR>

1. Bon Chic, Bon Genre<BR>2. Beau Cul, Belle Gueule<BR>

Re: the comment about Zara. Zara is a spanish chain. I love their clothes, and they're similar to what a BCBG fan would like. They carry a lot of stylish things at inexpensive prices, but saying they're good quality is pushing it a bit. They won't fall apart on you, but they aren't built to last either

I agree mel, I meant good qualty for the price =)

thank you everyone!
