We have a house, now we need stuff to put into it. Where do you get stuff in France? Why Paris of course.

| Bagnoles is 3 hours from Paris, two and a half if I'm driving and singing the Beatles. |
The best strategy to shop in Paris, is to drive to a town outside of Paris, park, and then take the RER and the Metro. We drove to Versailles, which is a twenty minute train ride from the shopping in Paris or a one hour or more drive by car.

| The Samaritaine is France's oldest department store. It is currently closed for renovation and will reopen in 2015. |

| The Galleries Lafayette is currently the largest shopping "mall" in Paris with everything you could want, except reasonably priced furniture that matches our tastes. |
All the furniture we looked at that day was contemporary, wild art, or just chrome and glass. It would take more shopping to find the Georgian style furniture we had in the States.

Not a productive day in Paris, but what a great place to spend the day, even a rainy day.
