PARIS SHOPPING GUIDE · 01

The Paris Shopping Calendar

When you buy decides what you pay

Paris shops during the sales
The dates these signs go up are set by law

The biggest variable in shopping in Paris isn't what you buy or where. It's when you go.

The same shop and the same item can be half price in early July and behind a locked door in August. And that rhythm is largely fixed by law — which means you can work it out in advance.

1. Sale Dates Are Set by Law

French sales are called soldes, and they differ from sales elsewhere in one decisive way.

Shops do not choose when to hold them. Under article L.310-3 of the commercial code and the order of 27 May 2019, the state fixes the start date and the duration.

That means twice a year, four weeks each — winter and summer only, with every shop in the country going on sale at the same moment. The four-week length dates from the PACTE law of 2019, applied from 2020; before that it was six weeks.

The next soldes begin on 6 January 2027

Winter 2027 runs from Wednesday 6 January at 8am to Tuesday 2 February. Those dates are already confirmed.

2. How to Work Out the Dates Yourself

Here's where this guide differs from others. Rather than memorising dates, learn the rule and you can calculate any year.

Winter soldes

Begin on the second Wednesday of January at 8am.
Unless that second Wednesday falls after the 12th, in which case it moves to the first Wednesday.

Summer soldes

Begin on the last Wednesday of June at 8am.
Unless that last Wednesday falls after the 28th, in which case it moves to the second-to-last Wednesday.

Duration

Both run four weeks from the start date.

We checked it. Dates produced by this rule match the government's official announcements. The rule gives 24 June for summer 2026 and the announcement said 24 June; it gives 6 January for winter 2027 and the announcement said 6 January.
Why Wednesday? French sales start mid-week rather than before a weekend. Queues form on the first morning and the good pieces go before the weekend arrives. So if the sales are the point, aim for a weekday morning in the first week.

3. Sale Dates by Year

SeasonDatesStatus
Summer 202624 June to 28 JulyEnded, extended
Winter 20276 January to 2 FebruaryConfirmed
Summer 202723 June to 20 JulyBy the rule
Winter 202812 January to 8 FebruaryBy the rule
Summer 202828 June to 25 JulyBy the rule
Winter 202910 January to 6 FebruaryBy the rule
Summer 202927 June to 24 JulyBy the rule

"By the rule" means we calculated it using the rule above. The government issues a confirmation each year, so check the official announcement before fixing travel dates. We update this table as they're confirmed.

Dates have moved before

Summer 2026 was due to end on 21 July and was extended to 28 July because of the heat.

Even a legally fixed schedule can change when circumstances require. Treat the table as a plan and confirm before you travel.

Regional exceptions exist. Corsica starts later (summer 2026 ran 8 July to 4 August) and the overseas territories keep their own calendars. Mainland France, Paris included, follows the table.

4. August: the Month to Watch

The handwritten note often gives a reopening date

The summer sales end in late July. And the very next month brings the biggest trap in shopping in Paris.

Small shops close completely

A great many small shops and restaurants in Paris close for two or three weeks in August — the local bakery, the boutique, the family-run restaurant alike.

One survey puts the average Paris storefront closure in August at around 19 days, roughly two thirds of the month.

The thing to watch for. Google Maps or the shop's own social media may still say open, and you arrive to find a handwritten "fermeture annuelle" taped to the door. The online listing simply hasn't been updated.

This isn't slackness; it's institutional. The practice dates from 1936, when the French government made paid holiday a legal right for every worker, and holiday here is treated as a right rather than a perk.

So is August hopeless?

Not entirely. Large grocery stores, department stores, and major attractions generally stay open. What closes is the small independent shop.

The August strategy. Plan around department stores and larger retailers, and phone ahead for any small shop you particularly want. Don't trust the online listing.
Paradoxically this makes Paris pleasantly empty in August — the Parisians have gone. If you want the city uncrowded it's a reasonable month. If you came to shop, it's the worst one.

5. The Tax Refund Threshold Has Changed

There's a reason tax refunds belong in a calendar. During the sales the same budget buys more, which makes the threshold easy to clear; the rest of the year people often fall just short and lose the refund.

Since 1 January 2021 the threshold is 100 euros — purchases in the same shop on the same day, including tax, must exceed that. It used to be 175 euros.

A lot of guidance still says 175

The figure changed in 2021, but plenty of published advice still quotes 175 euros. Believe that number, decide you'll never reach it, and you give up a refund you were entitled to.

The conditions in short:

  • You must normally reside outside the EU — residence, not nationality.
  • Over 100 euros including tax in the same shop.
  • Purchases across a maximum of three days, in the same brand or group of brands.
  • The retailer must offer tax-free shopping.

The procedure itself, what to do at the airport, and the common mistakes are covered separately in "Tax Refunds, Explained". This entry only covers what affects your calendar.

6. The Year, Month by Month

Late NovemberBlack Friday; Christmas markets openGood
DecemberNo sales, but spectacular windowsFor atmosphere

A few notes

  • The Braderie de Lille, Europe's largest flea market, falls on the weekend containing the first Sunday of September. An hour from Paris by train, so a day trip works.
  • Vide-greniers are neighbourhood sales run by residents clearing their own homes, concentrated in spring and autumn.
  • The Strasbourg Christmas market has run since 1570 and is the oldest in France. It generally opens in late November.
  • Black Friday has taken hold in France but, unlike the soldes, it isn't a legal sale period — it's trade practice, so the rules and depth vary by retailer.
The day of the week matters too. Many Paris shops close on Sunday. The Marais is the exception, where most stay open. If a Sunday falls in your trip, make it your Marais day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. When are the French sales?

Twice a year, four weeks each. Winter 2027 is confirmed as 6 January to 2 February. Winter starts the second Wednesday of January (or the first, if the second falls after the 12th) and summer the last Wednesday of June (or the second-to-last, if the last falls after the 28th), both at 8am.

Q. Do shops choose their own sale dates?

No. They're set by the state under article L.310-3 of the commercial code and the order of 27 May 2019, which is why every shop in the country starts on the same day.

Q. When in the sales should I go?

A weekday morning in the first week. The sales open at 8am on a Wednesday, queues form immediately, and the best pieces and popular sizes go before the weekend.

Q. Can I shop in Paris in August?

Department stores and large retailers generally stay open, but small shops and boutiques close for two or three weeks. One survey puts the average Paris storefront closure at around 19 days that month. Phone ahead for anywhere you particularly want.

Q. Google said it was open but the shop was closed.

Common in August. The online listing often isn't updated, and the door carries a handwritten "fermeture annuelle" — annual closure — sometimes with a reopening date.

Q. What's the minimum spend for a tax refund?

Over 100 euros including tax, in the same shop on the same day. That threshold has applied since 1 January 2021, down from 175 euros. A lot of guidance still quotes the old figure.

Q. Can I claim a refund on sale items?

Yes. The sale price simply has to exceed 100 euros. If anything the sales make the threshold easier to reach, since the same budget buys more.

Q. Is Black Friday the same as the soldes?

No. The soldes are a legal sale period with state-set dates; Black Friday is trade practice. It has taken hold in France, but the depth and terms vary by retailer.

Q. Can I shop on a Sunday?

Many Paris shops close on Sundays, but the Marais is the exception and most stay open there. If a Sunday falls in your trip, make it your Marais day.

As of — August 2026. The government confirms sale dates each year. Entries marked "by the rule" are our own calculation from the legal formula, so check the official announcement before fixing travel dates. Periods can be extended, as summer 2026 was for the heat. Refund thresholds can also change.

This is the first entry in the Complete Paris Shopping Guide, which goes on to dissect how price structures differ by channel — department stores, outlets, pharmacies, and the rest.
