CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Brocante Hunter
Up before the dealers, home with a print.
You are at the flea market while the stalls are still being unloaded, because that is when the good things are still there. Coffee on a bench is the reward.
What they actually do
- Arrives at the brocante before the crowd
- Haggles gently and means it
- Carries a framed print home on the métro
The contradiction
You haggle two euros off a print and spend forty on the frame.
A typical route
- Flea market at dawn
- coffee on a bench
- vintage print under your arm
