La Vallee Village, Marne-la-Vallee

A place to go to find outlet stores of different brands. It’s an hour away via train outside Paris. Very clean and well organized but sometimes too crowded. Most of my favorite brands like Gucci, Coach, Lacoste, D&G, and among others are here at a lower cost compared to regular stores.

Small lovely shopping outlet near Disneyland Paris. There is a good number of high street brand offering fairly good deals. I did like the layout of the outlet. There is also a big shopping mall just on the other side of street with plenty of shops, restaurants and hypermarket.

Definitely a must-visit for those who love to shop! It was a massive consolidation of branded stores in the village, some say it’s over 100 Brands - with the likes of famous franchises like Gucci, Prada, YSL commanding virtual queues to crowd control.. Prices here were definitely lower than those in the retail stores within the city centre, evident by the long queues in each store 😊 you could hardly spot a person without any loots from their visit to the shopping village!

Stellar designer outlet mall and village, just outside of Paris city centre. I initially intended to visit by public transport, but the rail strikes made that impossible. Costs oddly similar via cab, if pre-booked, so I would advise that if you intend to buy a lot or have a flight/train to catch afterwards. Upon entrance, suitcases or big bags are tagged. The service is efficient so no long wait times. The staff in stores are warm and welcoming, and it’s easy to breeze in and out with a luggage in tow, without any concern. The village hosts around 40-50 stores, so its easy to cover each and every one in a day. There’s an adjoining mall at the end, but I didn’t get a chance to visit. I believe that hosts mid-range to high street stores.

Great place with many brands to shop. Less crowd and shorter queue on weekdays. Download La Vallée app to get free macaron and ice cream when you make purchases and scan your membership.
