Paris shopping outlets range from small boutiques to eclectic art galleries to large, stylish department stores. In general, Paris stores are open between 930am and 7pm on Mondays through Saturdays, although individual store hours may vary.

Parisian stores are generally closed on Sundays, and many of the smaller stores close for vacation during the month of August. Most Paris stores accept major credit cards, but street market vendors generally operate on a cash-only basis.
