This public holiday - sometimes worked as part of the solidarity day - comes at just the right time! The calendar fills up with events featuring vintage clothes, retro crockery, yesterday's comics, everyday objects and family mementos. Sidewalks are overflowing, boxes are being emptied and bargains are changing hands.
Here we rummage, there we negotiate. The atmosphere is light, the crates are full, and everyone hopes to leave with their find of the day. Whether you're a seasoned bargain hunter or a curious stroller, the pleasure remains the same: giving a second life to objects that were just waiting for it!
