If you follow the instructions we have mapped out for you, you might discover almost anything. . . Armed with this list of Paris addresses, carefully selected to fulfill all your desires, you'll be equipped with what you need to search for the unknown, unexpected surprise, be it large or small. Paris still contains many mysterious secrets and magical places, which you'll discover, to your wonderment, as you explore its secondhand stores that are brimming with all sorts of decorative curiosities. At the rear of a courtyard or sheltered by a nineteenth-century arcade, in a Gothic stone basement or in an ordinary-looking shop, you will find a cornucopia of delights at a variety of prices, always with charm.

Fifty-eight antique, vintage, and curiosity shops-as well as the Saint-Ouen flea market-are profiled and photographed in this lavish guide to all things collectible in Paris.

Industry Reviews

Parisian style isn't limited to the sartorial variety, there is a lot to covet when it comes to homewares too. Whether it's old fashioned chic you're after with a unique antique or the careful workmanship of a contemporary artisan, there is plenty on offer in the French capital. Two new titles from New York publishing house The Little Bookroom showcase this perfectly. Best Vintage, Antique and Collectible Shops in Paris lists 58 eclectic shops perfect for discovering one-of-a-kind marvels. There's everything in here from stuffed tigers through to antique hardware fillings - brilliant if you want to make sure your sense of style is as individual as you are. The photography is superb and gives a fantastic sense of atmosphere. Living France The array of shops Pauly has unearthed is broad and bizarre. Or should that be bazaar? The hotchpotch of rich photography is perfect. If you ever need an excuse to visit Paris, this is it. Image Interiors Great for shopaholics planning a trip to Paris... Where are my credit cards...
