Porte de Vanves feels wonderfully direct: rows of tables, morning light and objects close enough to pick up. Old art books lean against framed pictures while ceramics, clocks and embroidered slippers wait in shallow boxes.
It rewards a patient eye more than a large budget. The magic is in comparing details—the back of a plate, a handwritten price, the tiny wear marks that turn decoration into history.
FIELD NOTE
This is a morning market. Bring cash, ask before handling delicate pieces and look inside every tray.
