The OG
But the real reference of this world is the one on Rue de Bretagne, from May 22 to 24 in the 3rd. It’s the largest in central Paris, and the atmosphere is cheerful and relaxed. The best part is that we can stop for a lunch break at Alain Miam Miam.

The little extra: our tips for thrifting like a pro
The most important thing is timing: early in the morning to find the best items, or late in the evening for rock-bottom prices; you have to choose your strategy. But don’t forget about preparation either. We won’t surprise you by saying to bring a bag, that’s for sure, but inside, pack a tape measure, some small change (it’s easier for negotiation), and maybe even a checkbook and a magnifying glass. It might feel a bit old-fashioned, we agree, but at least you’ll know exactly what you’re buying.
When it comes to shopping, there are a few rules to follow.If you're buying a valuable item, always try to get the receipt (you never know). As for gold: look for a hallmark, that's a tiny mark that certifies the quality of the gold, and there's one on every jewelry piece. And for your bargaining, our favorite trick is to offer to take a second item when the dealer doesn't want to lower the price. The bundle effect always relaxes them!
