Be sure to bring your passport with you to get tax refund when you go shopping! You typically have to spend at least €100 at one store in order to qualify for tax refund in France. Be sure to mention it to the sales representative to ensure you have the paper work or know where to get the paper work printed. You will bring the paper work to scan at the airport.

These are some souvenirs I got to bring home! :)
