The Paris: The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris.
Some Nuggets of Fact The Paris busses stop running, in most cases* about 9 P. M., the Metro at about 12:30 A. M. and Paris taxis may legally charge double fare after 11 p. M. A transportation map of Paris is invaluable, and the price of one, at any kiosk, is only a few cents.
