Wine is often cheaper than either water or coffee in dining establishments. AND the selection of very reasonable wine is amazing in the local market. Also, good cheese is dirt cheap compared to U.S. prices.
With the stronger dollar, both of the above are the best part of traveling to Paris.

I disagree on the luxury bags. I’ve purchased Louis Vuitton bags in Paris and make sure to research the prices ahead of time. They are generally around $300 dollars cheaper in Paris (sometimes more, sometimes a bit less) then they are in the U.S. and this is not including the VAT refund.
