Need suggestion: From France to Italy or From Italy to France

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Europe later this year. Since I'll be doing some shopping in Paris and also stopping by the outlets in Italy. Since I'll be carrying those goodies with me during the entire the trip, so I'm just wondering if I should start my trip from France to Italy or from Italy to France. Is it safe to put those things in the hotels/B&Bs? Also, what month would be the best and cheapest to go? We are thinking August, September, or Oct? Thanks!

The route would be: Paris->Venice->Florence->Rome OR Rome->Florence->Venice->Paris

personally, i would fly into Paris and leave from Rome; start at the top and work your way down (for some reason Rome>Florence>et, al>Paris seems backwards and weird to me).

The only issue there would be you would be saving the longest flight till the end, when you are loaded with souvenirs and just want to get home.
