The cold
first month of the year isn’t the most festive in Paris, but the winter soldes
(sales) definitely brighten the mood.
The famous Paris winter sales run from 9th January to 19th February 2019. Look for Soldes signs in store windows all over the city, often followed by the amount of the reduction - typically 30 to 40% at the beginning but soaring as high as 70 to 80% at toward the end.
Best places to find bargains? It is everywhere! Luxury labels such as Chanel, Valentino, and Armani draw huge crowds - ditto for the "Big 4" department stores: Galeries Lafayette, BHV, Bon Marché, and Au Printemps. But don't ignore smaller boutiques (head to the Marais, Les Halles, Saint-Germain-des Près) and even global mid-market chains.

Epiphany
6
Jan
On
this Christian feast day (aka Three Kings’ Day), patisseries bake
frangipane-filled puff-pastry galettes des rois (kings’ cakes), which conceal a
fève (small trinket). Whoever finds the fève is crowned ‘king’ for the day and
wears the cardboard crown that comes with the cake.
Louis XVI Commemorative Mass
20
Jan
On
the Sunday closest to 21 January, royalists and right-wingers attend a mass at
the Chapelle Expiatoire (www.monuments-nationaux.fr) marking the execution by
guillotine of King Louis XVI in 1793.
Paris Cocktail Week
Late
Jan

Week (https://pariscocktailweek.fr) creates two signature cocktails for the
event. There are also workshops, guest bartenders, masterclasses and food
pairings. Sign up for a free pass for cut-price cocktails.
一年中寒冷的第一个月并不是巴黎最喜庆的，但一年一度的冬季促销肯定会让人心情愉悦。
着名的巴黎冬季销售于2019年1月9日至2月19日。在整个城市的商店橱窗中寻找Soldes标志，通常随后减少量 - 通常在开始时为30％至40％，但高度飙升 到目前为止70％到80％。
找到便宜货的最佳去处？ 到处都是！ 香奈儿（Chanel），华伦天奴（Valentino）和阿玛尼（Armani）等奢侈品牌吸引了大批人群 - 同样也是“四大”百货公司：老佛爷百货，BHV，BonMarché和Au Printemps。 但不要忽视小型精品店（前往Marais，Les Halles，Saint-Germain-desPrès）甚至全球中端市场连锁店。
顿悟
一月六日
在这个基督教节日（又名三国王日）上，法式蛋糕店烘焙满满的杏仁奶油酥皮糕点（国王蛋糕），隐藏了一个小饰品。 无论谁找到了这小饰品，都会成为当天的“国王”，并戴着蛋糕附带的纸板冠。
