From the start of the Paris winter sales and for the first four days, visitors can take advantage of practical advice, gifts, reductions, services and information to make their shopping break in Paris even more pleasurable.<\/p>\n<p>These are some of the initiatives introduced:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Five shopping stations have been set up in the key shopping districts.\u00a0 These shopping stations are manned by students from the Institut de Conciergerie Internationale to provide shopping assistance to visitors, such as giving directions from your hotel to the shopping itineraries of your choice.<\/li>\n<li>You can also reserve a handy GPS device which will guide you through Paris! These can be book through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parisinfo.com\">www.parisinfo.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Cyclobulles are also available at the shopping stations.\u00a0 You can enjoy a 30-minute ride in one of these electrically-assisted tricycles with chauffeur!
