Paris is one of the great cities of the world. You must go if you ever get the chance.
We only had 2 1/2 days so it was just enough to make us want to go back. |

Louis Vitton stores won't sell very many handbags to Asians so they try to get other people to buy the handbags for them, possibly to resell. I read about this in the book "Time Was Soft There: A Paris Sojourn at Shakespeare & Co." | astraltraveller Tue Sep 26, 2006 15:41 UTC
They tell you they are not allowed to buy another bag and ask you to do it. If you agree they give you counterfeit money to pay with - you get caught, they walk away! Its a way of circulating the counterfeit money. | canadiansthattravel Sat Jan 14, 2006 23:56 UTC
it is popular for japanese woman to fly to paris to buy designer clothing a few times a year, sometimes buying 10-15 bags/shoes at once, and thus store owners have a limit per customer.. it's possible that those woman reached their limit? | XenoHumph Mon Nov 17, 2003 19:17 UTC
