There are dozens of flea markets of all sizes in the Greater Paris area. In terms of the largest, naturally, the Santoon flea market that Yang Jing visited the day before yesterday; but in terms of the cheapest flea market, the Arigue Market located west of the center of Paris; but in terms of which market is the most exquisite and most loved by tourists, it is undoubtedly the Wanfo flea market that Yang Jing is going to today.

The Wanfo Flea Market is located in the 14th district south of Paris. From a geographical point of view, it is just across the center of Paris from the south and north.

Yang Jing learned from the hotel owner yesterday that the market is very small, only two streets away, and it only opens on Saturdays and Sundays. The market mainly deals with antique furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, daily hardware from the 1950s and 19th century, as well as jewelry, antique cameras, phonographs, books, old documents, coins, second-hand watches and other things. Of course, there are many modern second-hand items here.

Yang Jing arrived at the market at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it was already bright at 8 o'clock in October in Paris.

Sure enough, this market is very small. At least compared with the flea markets that Yang Jing once visited, the Wangfu flea market is really small. Two "L"-shaped streets more than 100 meters long have become the main body of this market.

However, although the market is not big, there are quite a lot of people. The most important thing is that there are no shops in this market, it is a completely open-air market. At most, those stall owners only have a shed, while more stall owners don’t even support the shed and just operate it in the open-air market.

In fact, this model is the real flea market. For example, the flea markets that Yang Jing has visited before, whether it is the Santuan Market or the Alfie Market, it has changed its flavor.

The real flea market is this kind of open-air market!

What made Yang Jing most happy was that he stood outside the market for more than ten minutes and did not see a sneaky guy. Maybe there were thieves here, but there were definitely not as many as the Shengtuan market. No wonder Wangfu Flea Market is called the best flea market in the entire Paris region.

Without those annoying guys, it is interesting to shop in such a market and customers dare to pay for things without any scruples.

No one wants to take out his wallet under the thief's gaze!

In fact, thieves really don’t have much room for survival in the Wanfo flea market. This is not because there are many policemen here, but because everyone here is police.

The history of Wangfu flea market is also very long. It appeared at the end of the 19th century and has a history of more than 130 years. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were also many thieves here, which seriously affected the tourists here.

Without tourists, those stall owners would naturally not have income. Therefore, one day in the 1990s, a local stall owner who had been operating in the market for a long time spontaneously organized more than a dozen stall owners to form an "anti-theft alliance". Their main responsibility was to expel the thieves who disrupted the market order from this market.

Later, more and more stall owners took the initiative to join the alliance. In the new century, almost all stall owners in the entire market joined the alliance.

Once there are thieves in the market, all stall owners will take the initiative to expel the thieves. If the thieves continue to be rampant, they will soon find that their disaster has come.

No matter how rampant the thief is, when facing a crowd of 200 stall owners, they have to get out obediently. If they dare not get out, they will immediately understand what "the vast ocean of people's war" means!

Over time, the thieves in Paris knew that the Wanfo flea market was not easy to get involved, and at least they were not the place where they were involved, so the thieves in Paris basically would not come here to commit crimes.

Of course, maybe one or two thieves from other places will occasionally come over, but that will not be the weather after all. If these thieves with unknown conditions are lucky enough, they may be able to make some money after working for a long time. But if they are not lucky, they will have to laugh...

In contrast, the stall owners in this open-air market have become more united because there is no barrier between walls. The Santoon flea market may have better conditions, but there is really a lack of this kind of harmony and mutual assistance like neighbors.

Yang Jing entered the market with more and more people, and suddenly, familiar noise filled his ears.

Yang Jing can even hear a lot of voices from the motherland. Nothing else, the main sources of tourists at Wangfu Flea Market are East Asia and Southeast Asia. In recent years, with the rapid growth of China's economic strength, tourists from China have become the main sources of tourists in Europe and the United States.

Because of its good security, Wangfu Flea Market has long had a great reputation among Chinese tourists. Almost 50% of Chinese tourists who come to Paris to travel will choose to choose a day to visit Wangfu Flea Market.

Due to cognitive reasons, flea markets have not developed very well in China. Even if there are, most of them are flea markets spontaneously formed by adults and children, and some college flea markets. The main business methods in that market are barter, and most of them are toys, books, second-hand books, computers, etc. that college students cannot take away after graduation.

But the flea markets in Europe and the United States are different. The flea market here is a real flea market. There are almost no such markets in China, so domestic tourists are very interested in this flea market.

Don’t look at the Wangfu flea market, but there are so many people. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe it as shoulder-to-shoulder one after another.

Yang Jing swayed slowly with the crowd. When he saw something good, he stopped to take a look or touched it.

Along the way, Yang Jing has seen furniture with a history of more than 200 years. Of course, those furniture are not furniture that has been separated from nobles or royal families. Most of these furniture are furniture accumulated by ordinary people themselves, so the price is not very high and very affordable.

Yang Jing also saw phonographs, vinyl records, second-hand books, cameras and other old items with decades of history. Most of these old things come from ordinary people and are not considered high-quality products, so they are not expensive.

Yang Jing saw with his own eyes a young man who seemed to be an international student who bought six second-hand books in just five euros...

Of course, if you want to do this, you must at least practice the "big bargaining method" to the point where you enter the house. Only when you make the stall owner faint will you have the opportunity to get what you want at a low price.

Only such a market is full of vitality, and that market is what Yang Jing likes.

Slowly, Yang Jing walked to the middle of the market, where a stall selling second-hand books caught his attention.
