France’s biannual nationwide sales, known as Les Soldes, normally kick off at the end of June. They run for four weeks each in the summer and winter, as a way for stores to get rid of excess merchandise before launching the next season’s collection. This year, however, they were pushed back to July 15, which means you still have time to make the most of Les Soldes.

Francophile crowd favorite Sézane might not advertise their sales, but if you know where to look, you can find them. Check the Archives tab on their website, which has items from previous collections “at a gentle price.” This translates to about 30-60% off, with free delivery to the U.S. on orders over $200, and free returns. $110 shirts are selling for $70, and $200 dresses for $120.

Then you’ll be happy to know that they have free standard shipping in the United States. With 60% off prices, t-shirts run around $60, while $150 might get you a pair of brocade shorts or a knit dress.
