Travel another way

Christmas shopping in Paris is still magic. The Champs Elysees become even more glamourous as they twinkle in the night, bordered by thousand of glittering trees and shop-windows.

The luxurious department stores of Faubourg Saint Honoré and Boulevard Hausmann gather crowds that spend hours staring at the animated windows, where artists have imagined wonderful worlds for many generations of kids.

If jewels, sweets and toys will still be classics on present lists, the chic for 2008 will be to make a point while shopping.

For instance, by buying an Edun tee-shirt at the Printemps store, you will donate to the Alafa foundation, whichfights Aids  in Africa. In addition, you will be sure that this item is a fair trade product. Edun was created by Bono and Aly Hewson. I f you buy a Kidou jewel on kifou.fr, 5% of the payment will go to a child association in Madagascar.

So be smart and generous for christmas: offer presents that benefit the world !
