If you are staying in Paris City, would not recommend trekking out to the outlets. Firstly, if you…read moreare looking for good deals on the luxury designer goods, the inventory and options are quite limited. Secondly, several of the stores and how they are run and how the associates act are deplorable and really ruin your impression on those brands (I.e. YSL, Gucci, Burberry). The lines you see are really fake lines because of how slow they are moving in the stores. Check out at Gucci, took 45 minutes due to incompetence and slowness - unbelievable. Prada and Chloe were some of the only pleasant experiences. Just not worth it being almost an hour drive/metro from Paris.

Overall, it wasn't worth the trip out of the city for me…read more They had all the high end stores that I liked such as Burberry, Fendi, Gucci, Celine, and more but I didn't really find anything of liking. Most stores have very few selections and are the older season items. The only full stores with wide selections were couple stores like Burberry and Gucci. What I did like was Maje and there's a never ending indoor mall next to the village called the Centre Commercial Val d'Europe where you can shop from Zara, Mango, H&M, and Uniqlo without the mass crowd like in the city. Also, if you download a promo QR code you can snag a free treat (differ during promo period but at the time, I claimed 2 free macarons at Laudree). This is the site I had found it on: obonparis.com/en/coupon/la-vallee-village One other thing I liked was that they had all the major dessert shops like Laudree, Pierre Herme, Amorino, and more to enjoy without having to endure the wait like the city. Despite this, it wasn't worth the transportation costs.

They also have so many other stores that are customary to malls in the US. I did also enjoy another cooking type shop they had with really cool salts and flavored peppers to season your food. Also brought back some of those for people in my family that like to cook. Overall this is a clean spacious mall with many stores to choose from for your shopping experience. Also, it has a sea life aquarium for the husband and kids to go to while you shop.

I fell in love at every turn from the moment we stepped through the door. I picked up gifts for myself, my nephew, and a friend at work. There's an officine universelle buly inside which is so convenient if you're not up for the long queues. So many exceptional offerings here. It was the most pleasant and calm shopping experience I've had in a very long time. If you're looking for the most top notch shopping look no further, you'll find the most special items here.

They first introduced the idea of a place with fixed prices and no haggling, which was an intense concept for folks in the 1800s. Pass forward to modern days, I'm not sure if it's still a good deal, because now it is a department store of luxury goods. They have designer fashion, accessories and beauty, home and design and an epic food hall. I'm not into the shopping but I was here to admire the architecture since there was parts of their glass and ironwork done by Gustave Eiffel. Not a must visit, but interesting place to browse if you have some extra time.

Maybe it is the American in me, but this did not feel like any food court I have seen back home. There are only four stalls in total. Joe and The Juice, Pierre Marcolini, Yi The, and one more I did not catch. My son ordered the L'Amore (strawberry, raspberry blueberry tea) from Yi The. The juice was decent and I was very pleased to see they used fresh ingredients, but not every drink works with boba. This was one of those times where it just did not. My husband also bought a bottle of coke, which cost 3.50 euro, which is very expensive for any food Court standards Next door, we got our first macarons of the trip from Pierre Marcolini. We tried the Dubai macaron, the signature one, the Noisette, and the most delicious of them all, the Framboise. They were all delicious and not too sweet, which I really appreciated. I loved every bite, but my favorites were the raspberry macaron with dark chocolate filling and the hazelnut one called Noisette. It was definitely worth the stop.

I was little disappointed once inside as it wasn't quite as magical as expected, but it's a shopping area, so what do you expect. The biggest disappointment is that you have to pay to use the restrooms here. Ridiculous! I didn't have any cash and wasn't sure if I'd be able to use a card, so I had to leave. There was a long line of people trying to use the bathrooms, so they must make a nice chunk of change from this. But quite stressful when you would expect a restroom especially for how large this place is.
