Price of Chanel in France

You do get the tax back but with the Euro stronger than the dollar, I doubt that it's cheaper. When the dollar was stronger, everything in Europe was a bargain (compared to here, of course!).
 
Last April I bot a LV in Paris - Even with the Euro being stronger,when I came home and priced the bag here at my local Saks and was surprised to find I had still saved $50.00!! I leave again for Paris on April 5th - This year I am going to look for a more modest purchase in a Gerard Darel since I already have a great Chanel tote.
