Among the 500 or so stalls are bargain clothes, designer seconds, and accessories such as jewelry. You can leaf through boxes of fashions from years gone by at the Marche d'Aligre near Place de la Bastille or boots and shoes at the Marche aux Puces de la Porte de Vanves in the southwestern edge of the 14th district, or 14e arrondissement. Parisian Fashions at Discounted Prices Outlet shops are also in vogue in Paris. Winter sales start the day after Christmas while summer sales start around June 20. During these times, department stores and retailers offer discounts of up to 50 percent on some of their collections.
Most chains have interpreters, and provide exchange and tax refund services for tourists.
