Christmas Shopping in Paris, or NOT.

Christmas shopping in Paris is ridiculous fun, one feels privileged to be able to cross items off your list in a city with the best shopping in the world. But, what if you can’t make it for Christmas? Fret not fellow elves, you can get those stockings filled with beaucoup de French inspiration by just opening up your computer. This year say Joyeux Noel instead of Merry Christmas!
