A merchant's market

An intimate market for dealers and neighbors
This art-déco specialist bought the vase at the flea-market and sold it a New York trade show.

 

Every weekend there's a small, open-air flea-market on the city's southern border.

 

Most of it is bric-a-brac (nice bric-a-brac), but merchants come here for deals.

 

 

  • Tourists rarely know about this market and most clients are habitués

 

 

This market is interesting and as well, it is fun.

 

There's a pianist, hot chestnuts and crèpes and a bistro where vendors and families meet.

 

Catherine Aubin is your guide. She used to live a few blocks away.

 

 

  • Nearby – a "hometown Paris" that guidebooks forget

 

 

"Déjeuner" can be in a habitués' café or in a scuptor's garden studio.
