Dallas, Normandie, a wonderful flea market in the Marais

Lifestyle

This pretty new flea market is distinctly upmarket. The attractive surroundings evoke thoughts of a tastefully decorated apartment forming the backdrop to a collection of vintage furniture and curiosities unearthed by Brune and Sandrine, a knowledgeable and passionate duo willing to leave the hill of Montmartre in the dead of night just to ensure they arrive first at a garage sale in the Normandy countryside.

Little Vintage, a gift in retro

Lifestyle

For who? For aficionados of vintage; those who cannot resist the bright colours and surprising alternative-modern retro toys that are the province of yesteryear, and who love finding creations that are no longer being made. For fans of nostalgia; a blast from the past. JR.
