It is one of the most popular tourist spots in the capital, with nearly four million visitors per year: the Saint-Ouen flea market. A market founded at the end of the 19th century and which today brings together 1,700 merchants. Every day, pieces of art or furniture pass from hand to hand, seeing their prices double at each stage. From the individual to the second-hand dealer, from the second-hand dealer to the antique dealer, from the antique dealer to the wealthy end customer. Commercial exchanges that have long made the fortune of certain professionals, sometimes present here for several generations! Director: Laurent Lesage and Caroline Gauthier
