Yes price is the same as what you see online.

You will not be able to claim your tax in Paris, when you fly to London as right now London is still within EU.

Only flights out of EU you can claim.

Basically you can only claim all your tax refund at the London airport if that's your final port of departure back to Singapore.

It will be cheaper if you purchase in London though, due to current exchange as Euro is slightly up.

Tip - DO NOT get cash for your tax refund in London, they do not give in Pounds, and will only allow tax refund in either Euro / USD or SGD, and you will lose out a lot because of their shitty exchange rate even though they claim they do not charge fees for cash payout instead of credit card.

Thank you so much for the advise. If i am processing the claim in london do i get my item checked and stamp in paris or london airport? So all my refund will be in london less the admin in the retail store?

Was intending to get cash refund as i do not want to wait for month for the refund and understand from some tavellers that some of their documents even went missing. I am paying by credit card btw.

Please advise also should i change my sgd to all pound or euro and pound, due to the current FX rate.
