If you were to buy something from one of the three boutiques in Paris instead of the airport one, do you still have to line up to get the tax refund? Or, do they do it directly from the stores?I totally agree, and plus you don't have to wait in line to get the tax refund paperwork done nor wait a few weeks for the refund $ back in the cc. But it's really a game of luck, many times they don't have any bag at all.
Thanks!
