Les soldes

Guess what starts today?? SALES! You see, in France, you can't just mark down merchandise to get rid of it whenever you need to make room for new stuff. You must wait for the bi-annual, government-mandated, six-week long sales period.

People have been busy doing "repérage," or scouting missions, for weeks, and know exactly what they want... somewhat akin to our Black Friday, except that it happens twice a year and goes on for six weeks each time. (The picture above says "On your mark... get set... SALES!!")

Even Ungaro wear will be going on sale. I will put up some examples of clothes and their mark-down prices when I arrive. I'm leaving out of Atlanta at 7:30 tonight for le grand voyage!
