Our major project for May 23rd was to visit a big vide grenier/brocante market in the Marais, a 2-3 day market encompassing 4 or so blocks of Rue de Bretagne and side streets. It was most entirely the pros, who know the market and their merchandise, and not families undertaking spring clinging and parting with things that did not spark joy. You can always tell by all the white vans and tents. Nonetheless, there was much to see.
