Best of Paris shopping: The street market guide

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 07:02 AM PST

Don't shop in Paris for the stuff you can find everywhere else -- come for the unique and the quirky, found only in the city's market areas

Chanel, Vuitton, Dior -- Paris, historically, is a key item on any true shopper's wish list.

The Champs-Elysées, however, has become passé with stores like Banana Republic and Abercrombie attracting a different type of clientele, disappointing those looking for that unique Parisian splurge.

Sure, the ever-glamorous Avenue Montaigne and the streets of Saint-Germain are still home to all of the ritzy designers and names to love and go broke for, but globalization has taken its toll.

Passengers on major U.S. carriers spent more than US$1.74 billion on bag fees in the first half of 2012, US$78 million more than in the first half of 2011, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reports.

Some industry players are helping by adding incentives for packing light.
