 It’s on! The sales (les soldes) started yesterday (June 25). This is one of the best times to shop in Paris (the other big sales period is in winter). Two of my favorite places to hit are Les Printemps and Les Galeries Layfayette , where you can find a little bit of everything. This year the prices seem to even lower than usual for a debut, as some stores don’t bring out the big price reduction guns until well into it. That translates as hurry!

 As you probably know, President Bush was on his farewell tour of Europe last week, and stopped over in Paris to hang out with President Sarkozy and Carla Bruni. I was walking down the Champs Elysées this past Saturday when I noticed several barricades going up. “What’s going on?” I casually asked the policeman who was already standing guard it seemed. He looked me up and down for a second, probably decided I wasn’t dangerous, then said, “President Bush is riding by at 14:00.”
“I knew it,” was my reply.
