At the Junk Dealer's Counter: A Marais Vintage Shop

Made it to Rue Saint-Paul? Before we duck into the alley called Passage Saint-Paul, let me introduce a fun vintage shop nearby. It's at 49 Rue Saint-Paul and is called Aux Comptoirs du Chineur, which roughly means "at the junk dealer's counter." Look for the light-blue shop right next to the Subway sandwich shop on Rue Saint-Paul.

Le Marais is also famous as a vintage shopping district. While most of its vintage stores focus on clothing, this one carries clothes as well as a wide range of fun objects. The shop is small, but the variety of items and curiosities is huge. It feels like stepping into an old storeroom.
