Not gonna lie: I had extremely low expectations for the Lululemon outlet in Paris — specifically at La Vallée Village, the luxury outlet mall in the eastern Parisian suburbs, one RER stop short of Disneyland. I am happy to say: I was wrong! The Lululemon outlet in Paris is excellent.
Enter the shop and you’ll see that it resembles any other Lululemon shop, worldwide. Like most of the boutiques at La Vallée Village, the store offered a mix of current collection pieces — when I went, essentially every article of clothing in black, with the True Navy as well — and discounted ones, with additional markdowns indicated by signs around the shop. These include €60 for two bras, and 30% off any bottom.
The legging wall was present and accounted for, and the widest selection was in 28″ Aligns, with a metric ton of Willow Leaf. It used Canadian sizes, not French, with the smallest option in 4 and the largest in “12/14.”
The Aligns were marked down from €108 to €64 (outlet goods must be reduced by at least 30%, per French retailing laws). With the additional 30% off, that dropped the price down to €44.80 — not a bad price at all for undamaged Aligns, even when converting them back into dollars. I would absolutely come back here rather than shop at the Lululemon near me in central Paris.
Elsewhere: There were about half a dozen different bags, including a mall collection of 1L Everywhere bag and a Willow Green 13L large slouchy bag with the paracord strap for €64 — half off the retail price of €128.
A 18L Triple Compartment Bag in Balsam Fir was €99, marked down from €148 (US price $168). Everlux contour-seam leggings were €79, marked down from €118 — they only had these in cranberry charm/ . These are actually these exact leggings, now on sale at the French shop online for €99. With the extra 30% discount, they would have been €55.30.
How cute is this tee?? I thought it was extremely cute, and a reasonable buy at €24 — but the first one I picked up had approximately one-inch round stains on the side. I didn’t see this sort of damage anywhere else in the shop, but it was disconcerting and put me off picking one up.
Otherwise, though, I loved it — the shop had tons of variety, the staff were nice, and stock turned over so quickly that I saw plenty of different items between when I showed up at 10:30 and then came back a few hours later. Of course there’s a trade off: The only pieces discounted are from previous seasons, and include some oddball colors and pieces. Them’s the breaks — on the upside, though, this is a worthy alternative to the central Paris Lululemons, and a reliable alternative for discounted, high-quality athleisure. I will absolutely go back.
