Have anyone been to La Vallée Village?

Is it worth going there, if you only stay for 4 days? How much does it cost with the bus from the hotels???

I suppose that it depends if you like the brands represented there. Since I am in America so often, I often shop at outlet malls there (which can vary greatly in quality and selection)

I find la Vallee Village has a lot of higher end items; prices are 'ok' but not huge reductions, from what I have seen. Personally, I prefer to shop in Paris.

The train is 1,40 Euros - I believe that the bus service is 5 Euros, but have never taken it.

Personally the only bargains we have ever found there are shoes. But the main mall is very good, and they often have reduced Disney Items in the Disney Store. Also, we like to go to the Auchan Hypermarket, as well as the Sea Life Centre Aquarium. There are some nice dining choices at Val D Europe as well at a much lower cost than Disney - Steak, Seafood, Chinese, Tapas, Italian, Lebanese, French, Japanese, Italian, and Mc Donalds.

If I were you, I would look it up online and see whether they sell brands that you like.

I especially like Longchamp, Anne de Solene, Burberry, Villeroy & Boch, Mexx, ...
Many of the stores though are rather high-end. An item that costed 2000 EUR before is not reduced to 50 EUR.
I would suggest you look up the stores and then decide whether there are some brands that you like.

Thanks everyone! I've been to some outlet stores in the states, which was great. Is the Disney store worth going for? Is it like the Disney stores in the outlet malls in Florida???

No, definately not. It is about the size of Hollywood Pictures in the village, and has many things at full price. But every time we have been, we have found reduced items, or limited pins that have sold out in the park, but not the store.

If that is the only thing you are interested in, it is not worth it.

But what you might do is one day go to the parks for opening, then take the train to Val De Europe and have lunch there, with a little shopping, then head back to the parks for the last few hours. This can be a nice little break.
