If like me you love French design and bargain hunting, you can't get much better than Paris. Join me on my next Paris shopping experience.

My next trip is planned for September 21 - October 6 2009. I will again be visiting the St Ouen Antique Markets, brocante and flea markets in and around Paris, and special antique events to find some great bargains. Like last year, my local Parisian antiques expert, Jean Pierre, will guide me and give me access to ‘Trade Only' markets. Great for picking up better deals.

I can also take you to all my favourite places to shop for antiques and vintage pieces, home décor, fabrics, etc And of course we can visit the odd fashion boutique on the way, not to mention my favourite restaurants and cafes!

If you cannot join me on my next shopping trip but are interested in a private antiques tour when you are in Paris, contact me and I will arrange it for you.

The rate per day is $AUD 600 (incl GST). Half day tours are $AUD 350 (incl GST). This rate is for up to 2 people inclusive. i.e. no extra charge if you bring a friend!

Tours include:

• Guided tour customized for your specific interests
• Pick up and drop off from your accommodation
• Private car and bi-lingual guide
