A shopping trip to Paris is a fashionista’s dream but the very idea may also conjure up images of enormous credit-card bills or even the need for a second mortgage. Shopping at the likes of Armani, Burberry, Jimmy Choo and Dolce & Gabbana may be an everyday occurrence for Victoria Beckham, but for most of us mere mortals it is just an aspiration as we have a look at the best savings rates to see if we can possibly afford it.
Now that aspiration can become a reality at La Vallee Village, a fabulous designer-outlet outdoor shopping centre just 45 minutes from the centre of Paris and conveniently located practically next door to Disneyland Paris.
