On Bastille Day, July 14, 2025, Paris sets the world alight with a parade down the Champs-Elysées, fanfare , a symphony concert at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and a fireworks finale that makes the sky crackle. But while the Republic celebrates, another front is busy behind the scenes... that of the bargain hunters on a mission!
Yes, on this bank holiday Monday, flea markets and garage sales are also on the agenda, flags flying and bric-a-brac in cheek! To extend the weekend, from dawn onwards, stalls line up as if on parade. In Paris and the Île-de-France region, trinkets, vinyl records and porcelain mugs are all on display. The light artillery of the past on display under the sun!
We rummage, we negotiate, we unearth. A striking vase, an old novel to devour, a tablecloth that smells of old-fashioned Sundays... Here, the passion for second-hand goods is king, and the pleasure of digging up, unearthing and bargain-hunting brings together all profiles, whether you're a seasoned collector or a Sunday stroller.
