Power Shopper Paris:
The French Luxury Products Game for Limousine-Escorted Shoppers Created by
Savvy Mom Ruth Paget
Introduction
Once
you have all your Maslow Pyramid Needs shopping done in the Bienvenue Subway
Game, you can buy luxury goods that your family can sell in times of depression
or war to protect your food and beverage supplies.
People
laugh about the Florentine Italians being bean eaters, but if you look
cookbooks written by Italians, there are many bean recipes using dry beans. All of the places I list below also have
online stores.
Level 1 – Fancy Snacks
and Shopping Bags
Fauchon
– various locations around Paris and online
Level 2 – Jewelry
Place
Vendôme by the Ritz Hôtel for dragon and tiger gem bracelets.
Level 3 – Sur Measure
Designer Fitting Rooms

Level 4 – Copper Cooking
Equipment

Dehillerin
Level 5 – Sèvres Porcelain
Entryway Vases
5-feet-high
vases that are always decorated with real gold.
Level 6 – Aubusson Tapestries
This
tapestry manufacturing house has been in existence since the time of Louis XIV
and is a “Finance Minister Colbert” industry.
Level 7 – Porcelain Dishes
from Limoges
The
Rue de Paradis display rooms in Paris have all the brands for sale.
For
every day, use dishes from Haviland.
For
special occasions, use dishes from Bernardaud.
Level 8 – Guerlain Perfumes
The
Champs-Elysées store offers all the main scents.
Level 9 – Christofle Tableware
and Jewelry
Level 10 – Mariage Frères
Teas
The
French had an Indian trading center at Pondichery for cloth and food products
like the British East India Company.
(See
the novel series Jewel in the Crown about this period in English history. This book series was also made into a PBS
televisions series.
Comparing
the cultures portrayed in the Jewel in the Crown with the Shogun series is a
fun introduction to similarities and differences between the two cultures.
You
can then watch Indochine with Catherine Daneuve and the Lover by Marguerite
Duras as a third contrast to India and Japan in French Indochina.)
Level 11 – Hôtel Crillon
for Lunch
This
hotel is located on the Place de la Concorde next to the US Embassy right
before the rue de Rivoli and the Danton Entrance to the Louvre Art Museum and
the antiques dealers of Paris.
Interior
Designers know that this is a good game for them!!!
I think Concordes might still leave SF, LA, Chicago, and NY to make the flight a short one.
