Second-hand markets and antique dealers
In the heart of Paris in the Marais district, the little streets and courtyards of the Village Saint-Paul are home
to numerous antique dealers. The Avant-Cour has notably just moved into this specialist area of Paris and
presents carefully chosen objects from all around the world. You will also find shops with antique and
artisanal jewellery. As for the ubiquitous brocantes or second-hand markets, they liven up different parts of
the city every weekend and offer a diverse selection of goods: rare and old books, vintage clothing, toys and
unusual objects, etc. Over towards Saint-Germain-des-Prés and as far as the Musée d’Orsay, some 120
antique dealers form the Carré Rive Gauche.
