Antiquaires: Flea Markets of Paris

By Laure Verchere

Paris insiders know the best place to go for inspiration is not the Louvre. And the finest shopping isn't on the Boulevard St. Germain: It's the famous antiques markets of St. Ouen. Which explains why Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Andr Breton, and Rudolf Nureyev all browsed at St. Ouen, the largest marketplace of secondhand clothing, housewares, and art objects in the world. Author Laure Verch re and photographer Laziz Hamani capture the treasures of St. Ouen's appealing m lange of furniture, books, decorative objects, and curiosities--and the dedicated sellers who endow them with life.
