Le Bon Marche it is then....cheers Mike.

Cheers for the reply Pogi, but with only 6 hours spare - not sure if I can really do it justice.....I have made more leisurely vists to Paris in the past and I recokn I will do so in the future, but Wednesday is all about shopping.....

Xanaxx - thanks a million for that - much appreciated.

Well, I'm a fan of stuff like APC, Commes, Lindeberg, Helmut Lang - though my budget doesn't always stretch that far. I suppose Oi Polloi is one of my fave shops at home (England) and is pretty representative of what I wear: http://www.oipolloi.com/

Hello,

So, I'll be in Paris for just 6 hours on Wedensday and I'm planning on stocking up on essentials at APC. I'd really appreciate tips on any other shops worth a peep in the same area. Also, somewhere to get a bite to eat nearby - I'll be on my own, so I'm not looking for anywhere too flash, just a cool spot to grab a snack and people-watch. (Please also bear in mind that my French is pretty rudimentary to say the least!).

Once the shopping is done, does anyone have any advice on a cool area to just relax and kill a bit of time - I'm seen the forecast is pretty good for Wednesday, so I'd probably rather not be stuck in a museum. I've visited the obvious tourist attracrions in the past - so I'm just looking for a bit of insider knowledge on what and where's hot right now.

Huge thanks in advance....
