Shopaholics have their own special temple. The internationally famous Val d’Europe shopping centre has a huge choice of stores and restaurants to suit all budgets. The elegant galleries hark back to the covered markets in Paris – ideal for a visit in any weather. Right next door, La Vallée Village (from The Bicester Village Shopping Collection) is an outdoor shopping village with 120 French and international fashion and luxury brands selling the previous season’s collections at discount prices 7 days a week.
