There are dozens of flea markets, large and small, in the greater Paris area. Of course, the largest one is the St. tu'an flea market Yang Jing visited the day before yesterday; But the cheapest flea market is the Arig market west of the center of Paris; But to say which market is the most exquisite and favorite for tourists, it is undoubtedly the Wangfu flea market Yang Jing will go to today.
The wanfer flea market is located in the 14th District in the south of Paris. Geographically, it is just opposite to the Saint touan flea market from the south to the north, across the center of Paris.
Yang Jing learned from the hostess of the hotel yesterday that the market is very small, only two blocks away, and it only opens on Saturday and Sunday. The market is mainly engaged in antique furniture in the 18th and 19th centuries, daily hardware products in the 1950s and 1960s, jewelry, antique cameras, gramophones, books, old documents, coins, second-hand watches and other things. Of course, there are many modern second-hand items here.
Yang Jing came to the market at 8 o'clock in the morning. It was already bright in Paris at 8 o'clock in October.
Sure enough, this market is very small. At least compared with the flea markets Yang Jing has been to, Wangfu flea market is really small. Two "L" shaped streets more than 100 meters long have become the main body of this market.
However, although the market is small, there are many people. The most important thing is that there are no shops in the market. It is a complete open-air market. At most, those stall owners support a shed, while more stall owners do not even support a shed and operate in the open air.
In fact, this model is the real flea market. For example, the flea markets that Yang Jing has been to before, whether it is St. tu'an market or Alfie market, have changed their taste.
The real flea market is this kind of open-air market!
What pleased Yang Jing most was that he stood outside the market for more than ten minutes and didn't see a sneaky guy. There may be thieves here, but there are definitely not as many as St. touan's market. No wonder Wangfu flea market is known as the best flea market in the whole greater Paris.
Without those annoying guys, such a market is interesting, and customers dare to pay for things recklessly.
No one wants to take out his wallet under the gaze of a thief!
In fact, thieves really don't have much room to live in Wangfu flea market. This is not how many police there are here, but all the people here are police.
Wangfu flea market also has a long history. It appeared at the end of the 19th century and has a history of more than 130 years. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were many thieves here, which seriously affected the tourists here.
Without tourists, those stall owners will naturally have no income. Therefore, one day in the 1990s, a local stall owner who has been operating in the market for a long time spontaneously organized more than ten stall owners to form an "anti theft alliance", whose main responsibility is to expel the thieves who disturb the market order from the market.
Later, more and more stall owners took the initiative to join the alliance. In the new century, almost all stall owners in the whole market joined the alliance.
Once a thief is found in the market, all stall owners will take the initiative to expel the thief. If the thieves continue to be rampant, they will soon find their disaster.
No matter how rampant the thieves are, in the face of the crowd composed of 200 small stall owners, they have to go away obediently. If they dare not go away, they will immediately understand what is called "the vast sea of people's war"!
Over time, thieves in Paris know that the Wangfu flea market is difficult to mix, at least not where they mix, so thieves in Paris basically won't come here to commit crimes.
Of course, maybe one or two foreign thieves will come here occasionally, but it's not a climate after all. If these unknown thieves are lucky enough, they may be able to make some money by working for a long time. But if they are unlucky, their fate can only be ha ha
In contrast, the stall owners in this kind of open-air market become more united because there is no barrier between walls. The conditions of santuan flea market may be better, but there is really a lack of harmony and mutual assistance between neighbors.
Yang Jing entered the market with more and more people. Suddenly, the familiar noise filled her ears.
Yang Jing can even hear many voices from the motherland. Without him, the main tourist sources of Wangfu flea market are East Asia and Southeast Asia. In recent years, with the rapid growth of China's economic strength, tourists from China have become the main tourist source of European and American countries.
Wangfu flea market has long enjoyed an excellent reputation among Chinese tourists because of its good public security. Almost more than 50% of Chinese tourists to Paris will choose to visit the Wangfu flea market one day.
Because of the cognitive relationship, the flea market is not very prosperous in China. Even if it does, it is mostly a flea market spontaneously formed by adults with children to serve children, plus some college flea markets. The main business mode in the market is also barter, and most of them are children's toys, books and second-hand books, computers and other things that college students can't take away after graduation.
But the flea market in Europe and America is different. The flea market here is a real flea market. There is hardly such a market in China, so domestic tourists are very rare in this flea market.
Wangfu flea market is not big, but there are a lot of people. It's absolutely not too much to describe it with one after another.
Yang Jing wandered slowly with the flow of people. When she saw something good, she stopped to have a look or touch it.
Along the way, Yang Jing has seen furniture with a history of more than 200 years. Of course, those furniture are not furniture from the aristocracy or the royal family. Most of these furniture are furniture accumulated by ordinary people, so the price is not very high and close to the people.
Yang Jing also saw old objects such as gramophones, vinyl records, second-hand books and cameras with a history of decades. Most of these old things come from ordinary people and are not high-quality products, so the price is not expensive.
Yang Jing saw a young man who seemed to be an international student and bought six second-hand books for only five euros
Of course, if you want to do this, you should at least practice the "big bargain method" to the point of entering the house. Only when you stun the stall owner, can you have the opportunity to win what you want at a low price.
Such a market is full of vitality, and such a market is what Yang Jing likes.
Slowly, Yang Jing went to the middle of the market, where a stall selling second-hand books attracted his attention.
