You love Mango’s modern chic style, but you don't love the high prices in the center of Paris? We have good news: just a short ride from the capital, you can find outlet stores offering year-round discounts of up to 70%. But smart shopping isn't just about the sale price-it’s about the tax refund. In this guide, we reveal the exact locations of Mango Outlets near Paris and show you how to legally claim your VAT (Tax-Free) refund using the Airvat app, bypassing the queues and paperwork associated with traditional tax-free counters.

Where is the Mango Outlet in Paris? (Addresses & Transport)

There are no dedicated Mango Outlets inside Paris city walls (intra-muros). However, the best spots are easily accessible via public transport.

The Best Spot: Marques Avenue L'Île-Saint-Denis

This is the only dedicated Mango Outlet store close to the city center.

What to expect: A massive selection of women’s fashion, children’s collections, and accessories from previous seasons. The Savings: Typically -30% to -70% off the original retail price.

Address: 9 Quai du Châtelier, 93450 L'Île-Saint-Denis.

How to get there:

• By Metro: Take Line 13 to Mairie de Saint-Ouen, then take bus 166 to the Marcel Paul stop.
• By Train (RER): Take RER D to Gare de Saint-Denis, then it’s a short bus ride or walk.

Alternatives: Multi-Brand Outlet Villages

You can also find Mango collections in these major outlet centers around Paris:

• One Nation Paris (Les Clayes-sous-Bois): A luxury outlet center. Perfect if you plan to visit the Palace of Versailles nearby.
• Marques Avenue Corbeil-Essonnes: Located south of Paris, offering a wide range of high-street brands.

Why Traditional In-Store Tax Refunds Don't Work for Outlets

Usually, when shopping in Paris, you ask for a "Tax-Free Form" at the checkout. However, at outlet stores where prices are low, this system often fails you:

• The €100 Barrier: To qualify for a traditional refund, you must spend over €100 in a single store on the same day. Buying a €40 coat and a €30 dress? No refund for you.
• High Fees: In-store agents often take high commissions, leaving you with a smaller refund.
• Paperwork: You have to carry your passport and wait in long lines to fill out forms.

The Solution? The Airvat App!

Why Airvat is the Best Way to Shop in Paris

Airvat is a fully digital tax-free operator approved by French Customs. It allows you to bypass the store's restrictive system entirely.

The Airvat Advantage:

• No Minimum Spend Per Store: This is the game-changer. You don't need to spend €100 at Mango. You can spend €30 at Mango, €20 at a pharmacy, and €50 at a souvenir shop. As long as your total shopping trip exceeds €100, you get your refund.
• Higher Refund Rates: Airvat gives you back up to 20% of the VAT (minus a transparent service fee), which is often significantly more than what you get from in-store agencies.
• 100% Digital: No printing forms, no queuing at the store's customer service desk.

Step-by-Step: How to Get Your Refund at Mango Outlet

The process is simple and done entirely on your phone.

Step 1: Download the App

Download Airvat (available on the App Store and Google Play) before you start shopping and create your profile.

Step 2: Request a "Business Invoice" (Facture)

This is the most important step. When you are at the Mango Outlet checkout, do not ask for a "Tax-Free Form." Instead, ask for an invoice addressed to Airvat (info).

Say this to the cashier:

"Bonjour, je voudrais une facture au nom de société, s'il vous plaît" (Hello, I would like an invoice made out to a company, please).

Show the cashier the Airvat details directly from the app (found in the "How to shop" section):

• Company Name: Airvat
• Address: (As displayed in the app)

Note: The receipt must be made out to Airvat, not to your personal name.

Step 3: Snap a Photo

Open the Airvat app and take a picture of the invoice. The app will verify it and add the refund amount to your wallet.

Step 4: Scan at the Airport (PABLO)

When you are ready to leave France (or the EU):

• Go to a PABLO kiosk at the airport (CDG, Orly) or train station (Gare du Nord).
• Open the Airvat app to display your unique barcode.
• Scan the barcode at the kiosk.
• Done! Your refund will be processed to your bank card or bank account.
