my face actually broke out while I was here 
WOW! Sounds great! The last Sale in June was also very relaxed with no queues.
Which bangles were on Sale, the printed ones?
I went to the last 3 since it was right near my work...by the third one I maxed out all my quota on each item (ie 5 scarves, 6 ties, 2 leathers) since I had regretted not getting more at previous sales! I think my husband misses getting 6 ties at once.
I know get my friend who lives in Paris to buy me items there....feel lucky to still have some access to the sales..

Well, the sale today was certainly not relaxed. There was a huge cue to enter (about 2 hours even around noon). In addition, the waiting time for scarves was 1.15 h, for shawls 1 hour. So you have to be prepared to spend at least 4 - 5 hours in cues.
The scarves - it was spring 2013 mainly but also some older ones. Was surprised there was no single Licorne scarf )-:
CSGM - Pique fleuri de provence, Graff, Echec au Roi, Ceinture et Liens...
Giant silk - very limited choices, Astrologie nouvelles in some somber colours. Dip dyes - many, mousse lines - barely any.
No twillys or maxi-twillys. Lots of gavroches.
The selection of shoes was worse than before, pret-a-porter was at times interesting but even at 50 % you had to pay 700 EUR for a sweatshirt, men's suits were around 3000 EUR.
One good thing was the selection of enamel bangles (no H click clads or Caleche ones), collection of appr. 2 years ago to 1 year ago. 50 % off. Waiting time around 40 min.
no leather items.
I am ready to answer questions!
PS there will be braderie on Monday till 15.00! But expect the selection to be even poorer.

I went on Wed around 2 pm, and it wasn't too crazy. If you had to bring your child, you could have. No frantic wild women like before. But I also did not see any children at all....may get some funny looks.
I saw the bangles and was sooo tempted! But I was alone and needed a friend's advice on choosing, so left. Besides check out line was so long and I had to leave to pick up my son. Line for scarves was also long, so I didn't even bother. Shoes had awful selection for size 37. Maybe the good stuff was already gone.
Anyways, I might go back again. I won't be living in Paris forever, and this is my 3rd time to sale, and I've never bought anything for myself. Really want something, but then again, don't want to buy something, just because it's on sale.

Ugh...I love Graff, echec au roi, AN. I'm so sad I don't live in Paris!
If anyone scored, can you please post so we can all live vicariously through you?
