In France, there are two sales periods with fixed dates for everyone (except Corsica). The winter sales are held in January, and the summer sales begin at the end of June. Here are the dates for this year's sales!
Winter sales in France start on January 8, 2025. Summer sales start dates from June 2025 are now known. Shopping malls, department stores and boutiques are offering fashion, accessories, household appliances and home equipment at discounts of up to 70% off for the last markdown, and exceptional opening dates for the sales.
The start of the sales is the moment eagerly awaited by all those who need to make an out-of-budget purchase, but which during the sales becomes, almost, affordable. They always start on a Wednesday, and the weekend that follows is often dedicated to finding a bargain, because there's still plenty to choose from.
The sales are an opportunity to refurbish the whole family's wardrobe for less, buy household appliances, furniture... as prices drop from -50 to -70%. Sales last 4 weeks!
Paris sales dates from Wednesday, January 8 to Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
Winter sales begin on Wednesday, January 8, 2025 for 4 weeks. Household appliances, computers, tablets and interior decorations are all part of the annual renewal process in our homes. We wait for the sales to change out of economy, necessity, pleasure and challenge for some!
Don't forget to keep an eye on the classified ad sites after Christmas. Many of them sell their Christmas gifts. Don't miss out on any bargains!

For decoration and furnishings, go to Domus between Paris and Rosny, Aeroville near CDG airport. It's true that many of these centers are now open all year round on Sundays!
Local retailers also offer sales. You avoid the crowds, you avoid the commute, and you bring your neighborhood to life.
