Yesterday evening was the 12th day of Christmas. It's celebrated today two ways: first, it's the day to eat the Galette des Rois (King's cake) and second, it's the first day of the soldes (sales.) I went all out this year and bought a Galette des Rois and shared it with my colleagues. Read about that here. If you recall, there are only two times a year when the major sales happen...
Every single store in Paris advertises that fact - you cannot miss it.
The sales last around 6 weeks. Expert shoppers tell me that it's all about the waiting. At first, they slash the prices a bit. Then a week later, more slashing. A week after that, even deeper slashing. Everyone keeps his eye on something and waits and waits. Don't wait too long - it could sell out! Me? I got my eye on nothing, not one thing. Even at max slash, NY is cheaper.....
