I have been to Paris quite often lately, almost every week, it is directly related to my work. So, I'm always where a lot of rare and very beautiful antiques are sold.
Sometimes it seems to me that I am in a museum, I see such beautiful things, and the prices let you only to admire.
It should be noted that famous open-air flea markets in Paris in the open air prices have prices 2 or 3 times higher than in other cities.
This is not a surprise as most of the buyers at such fleas are foreign tourists who do not skimp, and easily buy the antiques they liked.
Sellers in Paris are looking forward to it, keep the high prices and often don't want to give discounts!
However, there are a lot of interesting, well-chosen knick-knacks that are clean and in good condition.
See it yourself, have a look at my photos.
