| Rank | Name of centre | Benefits in brief | Any comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One Nation Paris | Wide choice of luxury brands, major discounts, pleasant setting, close to Paris, eco-responsible centre. | Very busy at weekends, but well worth a visit for its pleasant open-air setting and bargains. |
| 2 | La Vallée Village | Over 110 luxury brand boutiques, discounts of up to 60 %, luxurious and elegant surroundings. | Prices can still be high despite discounts. |
| 3 | Marques Avenue Troyes | Over 100 brands, huge discounts, friendly atmosphere, ideal for a family shopping day. | Fewer luxury brands than other outlets. |
| 4 | McArthurGlen Provence | Over a hundred fashion and decoration boutiques, discounts of up to 70 %, charming Provencal setting. | A little out of the way. |
| 5 | Usines Center Paris Nord 2 | Over 100 brands, big discounts, easy access from Paris. | Less luxurious atmosphere than other outlets. |
| 6 | The Village Outlet Villefontaine | Over 80 brands, discounts of up to 50 %, modern and pleasant surroundings. | Choice of brands less varied than in the big outlets. |
| 7 | Nailloux Outlet Village | More than 110 shops, discounts of at least 30 % all year round, pleasant surroundings. | Very good in terms of price and variety of shops, but sorely lacking in food courts. |
| 8 | L'Usine Roubaix | Wide choice of ready-to-wear, sports and home decoration brands, rock-bottom prices, friendly atmosphere. | A victim of its own success on Saturdays, with lots of people and very long queues. |
| 9 | Talange Avenue Brands | Open 7 days a week, with over 90 brands of ready-to-wear, sportswear and homeware. Low prices and free parking. | Lack of customer reviews, which makes it difficult to assess the quality of the centre. |
| 10 | Honfleur Normandy Outlet Village | Around fifty boutiques selling national and international fashion, homeware and sports brands, in the architecture of a traditional Norman village, under an open sky. | A wide range of shops and a good reputation in Normandy, but pay parking (€1 per hour). |
