I went yesterday and will go again today and probably tomorrow.

I arrived in the early afternoon and didn't have to queue outside to get into the sale, but the scarf sections had queues. The queue for the 90s was the longest and slowest, but it had the best selection. These were priced at €181.

The selection for the larger scarves and stoles was not as great, but I only queued for maybe 5 minutes. Both departments have a time limit for you to shop, which sucks because you're rushed to make your choices so they can let the next group of people in. I think the time limit was 10 minutes. The larger scarves and stoles were priced at about €400 for the silks but the prices varied, so a cashmere and silk blend could be had for close to 300.

Pocket squares were €80, maybe 81.

Besides the lines for scarves, it was basically a free for all. People pushing and grabbing things that other people tried on and left on the counters.

There was a lot of rtw for men and women, 50% off retail from what I saw.

Shoe selection was also decent- sandals, leather boots, men's sneakers, etc.

Tie selection was ok. Priced at less than €90, I think €86 to be exact.

Home selection was full of towels, some blankets and rugs. I walked away with a nice little porcelain change tray for like €250. They had 2 designs, 2 of each out, so I'm not sure if they have more stocked elsewhere.

No jewelry at all. Didn't even see any belts of any kind. And no bags.

Thanks for the report.

There are different queues for scarf sizes? What happens if you change your mind? Can you make a final selection when you pay?

Yup, there's 1 section just for the 90 size, and then a different section for the larger ones.

When you choose the scarves, they put them aside in an envelope with your name and an id number you receive when you enter the sale. Then when you pay before exiting the entire sale, they collect your various envelopes and ring you up. I suppose then you can change your mind, but at that point you're already at the cashier.

With some items, like ties and shoes, you can carry them around while you shop.

There's a quota for how many scarves u can buy on the first day, only 5pcs of GM size and 5 90carre.
The selection is ok I think. Got something nice.
And a heads up for anyone still in Paris, there might be a Monday sale this time, ends at 3pm though.
Do pay a visit, it's the craziest price ever if they have the Monday sale.

Really? When I went Friday evening, an SA confirmed that Saturday would be the last day. There was still quite a bit left on Friday when I left, so maybe they'll extend it in hopes of getting rid of the shoes, hats, and rtw.
