Help!! We will be in Paris for a total of 8 days early October. I am looking for some %26#39;girly%26#39; things mentioned above as well as other things to make my bedroom feel warm and lovely and it wouldn%26#39;t either if I felt that way too.
Thank you

Brasserie ? are you sure you are lookink for a restaurant (or are you looking for a bra) ?
|||
If you want to find all of these items in one place, head to the huge department store, Galerie LaFayette. They have a huge area devoted to women%26#39;s linerie and, on another floor, many linens. There is also the home department in another building across the street. Walk down any street and you will see lingerie shops, such as Princess Tam Tam and Etam. Do a search on this subject as there were just some postings on lingerie.

Do a search for %26quot;lingerie%26quot; here, there is a thread pages and pages long wherein we girls (and a few very willing boyfriends) discuss every delicate intricacy of bra shopping in Paris, lol.
|||
Just to save you some embarassment in Paris -- a brasserie is a restaurant. A bra is a %26quot;soutien-gorge.%26quot;
Besides Etam, which has some nice lingerie, even the Monoprix (which is kind of like Target only smaller) has fairly nice things. There are many Monoprix stores throughout Paris, but if you are on the Champs Elysees, there is one there. Do expect to pay a lot for beautiful French underwear.

Depending on your age/price range, there are 2 small chains selling nivce lingerie : Orcanta (mid range to semi-expensive (from %26#39;huit%26#39; to %26#39;chantal thomas%26#39;) or Darjeeling (cheaper - cute - young), you find both is every shopping mall

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;If you want to find all of these items in one place, head to the huge department store, Galerie LaFayette.%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;
And if you can%26#39;t find what you%26#39;re looking for at GALLERIE LAFAYETTE, you can go to the other great %26#39;grand magazin%26#39;, PRINTEMP..next door. For what it%26#39;s worth, PRINTEMP offers a 10% discount on your purchases with the presentation of a foreign passport and if you do all of your shopping at one or the other, you may qualify for the VAT refund on MINIMUM purchases (175 €) in the SAME store on the SAME day. If your purchases run to over 175 €, between the discount and the VAT refund, Printemp may be the better %26#39;deal%26#39;...but either %26#39;grand magazine%26#39; should suit your purpose. Both GALERIE LAFAYETTE and PRINTEMP are open late on Thursdays

Thank-you for taking the time to answer my question. This is my first time looking at travel sights and visiting any forum. I hope that my question was %26quot;serious%26quot; enough, or hadn%26#39;t been asked to many times.
After reading through the forum for the past couple of weeks, I%26#39;m more than a little anxious to ask anything else. I guess that I don%26#39;t know what this is suppose to be used for so I am sorry if I took up space here unnecessarily. Again, to the people who took the time to answer me, thank-you for your kindness.

DCS - you can ask anything you like or need to know. There might be some folks who take a good-natured jab if it%26#39;s a funny topic and there will be some folks who can be snide. But the snide ones are in the very small minority and the helpful, informative and kind-hearted folks more than make up for a few rotten eggs.
|||
DCS -- I think your question was perfectly legitimate. Not that any question is a dumb one. I hope you feel comfortable posting again.
This forum can be a great help in planning a trip to Paris.

I think your question is fine. You can find so many beautiful shops all over Paris. The most beautiful Lingerie shop I%26#39;ve found is in the Galley Vivian.
The only drawback I can think of is that if you are planning to use these items while you are in Paris. I prefer to launder my sheets prior to using them and that might mean a trip to the launderette. You could hand wash the other things. Although I once spilled a glass of red wine in bed and had to hand wash a sheet in the midle of the night so I know it can be done.
