The Braderie is less a shopping trip than a city-scale treasure storm. Streets fill with books, plates, clothes and collections spread directly onto the pavement; every corner seems to begin a different hunt.
Do not aim for efficiency. Follow one promising box of comics, stop for food, then let the crowd carry you somewhere unexpected. The scale is the story, and the best souvenir may be the day itself.
FIELD NOTE
Comfortable shoes are non-negotiable. Choose one category to watch for, but leave room for a completely random find.
