Just wondering...do the high end boutiques participate in the summer sales? Thanks!

Yes, some of them do! And some have a special sale for just a day or two, sometimes at a different location, like Hermès.

Any way to tell beforehand?

The Hermès sale will be held the July 4 thru the 8th or 9th at Palais des Congres. I don't know of any source that lists all the sales and don't know how to find out about them except searching the brands you're interested in online for info. Maybe Phread can give us some good insider advice when she checks in!

Thanks, Annette! Do Louboutin and Chanel have sales too and are they offsite as well, or in the shops themselves? PS I'm working on my calendar and will let you know on the separate thread re the cheese shop visit.

I'm sure they do, but not necessarily off site. I found this old article from winter 2011 soldes that mentions Chanel and Dior have them at their main stores in the Golden Triangle. juliesparis.wordpress.com/tag/chanel/

Pretty much all the brands, except LV have sales. Hermes is the only one I know of off-site. There is a system in these boutiques in which regulars are invited to a pre-sale two weeks before the Soldes begin. If you ask for the pre-soldes price that week, and if you do it with authority, you are very likely to get 30% off. I did my soldes shopping last week, although the soldes begin tomorrow.

Some boutiques have also already started offering sales. I got a raincoat at Burberry this week and the sales lady already gave me the sale price even though it doesn't start until tomorrow. It's been raining so much in Paris lately that I think a raincoat will come in really handy.
