I'm going to Paris in mid September. Would love some suggestions on good places to get bargains on designer handbags, accesories and apparel. Also would love some great, not too expensive restaurants to eat in. We're staying at the Marriott on the Champs Elycee.Thanks.

Fouchon's. at La Place de madeleine, for people watch, and great bites. <BR> <BR>You'll find all the best designers stores at Fb. Saint Honore, but also at the grands magazins, like the Galleries Lafayette, and Printemps, and some nice copies at Rue du Temple, at the Marais district. <BR> <BR>Surlok

I have not been yet, but restaurants recently recommended to me on this site include: <BR>La Case Di Segio on rue de l"Exposition and L'Ami Louis - a bistro I know not where. <BR>Have fun!

Any shopping suggestions?

Barbara: <BR> <BR>I've compiled a file of moderately priced restaurants we've enjoyed in more than 25 years worth of visits to Paris. If you'd like it, e-mail me and let me know, or say this is your real e-mail address and I'll send it.
