Chapter 43 The Clock Shop
The Saint-Ouen flea market covers a large area. It is said that this is the largest flea market in Europe and even the world. It has more than 500 shops and more than 500 stalls, covering a total area of more than [-] square meters.
After getting off the car, Yang Jing discovered that this market, known as the largest flea market in the world, did not look like a market on the surface, but more like residential areas. storey building.
In fact, the Saint-Ouen flea market is a general term. This market is composed of more than ten markets. For example, the Markli market mainly deals in second-hand clothing, accessories, and ethnic goods; the Canbo market mainly deals in paintings and furniture. , art works; Byron Market mainly deals in antiques and works of art; Jules Bayes Market mainly deals in bric-a-brac, furniture, and printed products; Paul Robert’s Market mainly deals in antiques and high-quality bric-a-brac; End of the century art nouveau, antiques, paintings and more.
These small markets that together make up the Saint-Ouen Flea Market, each of which mainly deals in different commodities, will form a brand concentration effect, attract more merchants to join in, and make the commodity varieties of the Saint-Ouen Market more diversified. Richness, in turn, will attract more tourists to come here. Gradually, this place has become the premier flea market in Paris and even in the whole of Europe.
In fact, the Saint-Ouen flea market has long been recognized as the "grandfather" of the flea market in Paris. There are dozens of large and small flea markets in the Greater Paris area. When it comes to the flea market in Paris, tourists first think of The best would be the Saint-Ouen flea market.
The reason for this situation is that the Saint-Ouen flea market is really big, and the other is that this market does have a very long history.
It is said that as early as the beginning of the nineteenth century, some poor people living outside the city walls of Saint-Ouen often sold second-hand goods again, and gradually formed a certain scale.However, because most of the people who sell goods here are poor people who can't even eat enough, there are many fleas in this market, and the name "flea market" has spread from this, and eventually people in the entire Western world and even in many places in China The second-hand commodity trading market has been crowned with the name "flea market".
Later, the city wall of Saint-Ouen was demolished, but this market still existed, so many antique dealers and second-hand dealers came here to buy items wholesale, making this flea market more and more famous.
As the Paris city government began to carry out unified planning and management of this market, the market has gradually formed the scale it is today.
There are really a lot of people who come to this market every day to shop for treasures, have fun, and play. At least when Yang Jing gets off the car, he can see many people coming in and out here, especially the sharp-eyed few not far away. The black man who is not a good person made Yang Jing subconsciously hug the backpack hanging on his chest.
In the words of the taxi driver just now, there are more thieves in the Saint-Ouen flea market than in the Place de la Concorde, and it can be called a den of thieves in the entire Paris region.
Carefully watching out for those idlers looking around, Yang Jing followed the flow of people into the market.
The area where Yang Jing entered Saint-Ouen happened to be the Kanbo market, which mainly deals in paintings, furniture and art works. The shops here are generally relatively large in size, and there are all kinds of second-hand furniture and even antique furniture inside. Of course, Yang Jing even saw several small galleries.
As for the area where these commodities are mainly sold, Yang Jing is not in the mood to go shopping.Whether it's furniture or paintings, it's really hard to miss them.The owner of the shop has been in business here for many years, and the things in the shop have been fiddled with for many times. They have already discovered any secrets.Therefore, it is really rare to find a leak on such a large item.
Besides, Yang Jing came here mainly to pick up leaks. There is no place to pick up leaks, so he doesn't have the mind to go shopping, let alone there are still many thieves here.
Speeding up the pace, Yang Jing quickly walked out of the Kanbo Market and came to the adjacent Paul Robert Market.
Paul Roberts Market is mainly engaged in antiques and high-quality bric-a-brac. Compared with the Canber Market that we just walked through, it is not like a flea market at all, but more like an authentic antique and antique market.
Most of the shops in Paul Robert Market are small buildings on the second and third floors. Although the area is not as large as those with furniture, the decoration is more refined, and the number of people visiting this market is obviously less. .Even the thieves, who don't seem like nice guys, seem to be a lot less here.
Perhaps the items in this market are relatively high-value items, so the security conditions are relatively better.Yang Jing even saw two policemen on duty at a small intersection.
Also, most of the items sold here are in units of ten thousand euros. If there is any trouble here, it may have a huge impact on the entire market.
Paul Roberts Market is not as noisy as the Kanbo Market just now. It is much quieter here. Many people who are playing or shopping for treasures are not talking loudly, and they seem to be of high quality.
This kind of situation made Yang Jing relax somewhat, the arms that had been clasping his chest all the time also relaxed, and he dared to sway his head left and right following his gaze.
I walked into a few shops casually, and walked out quickly.
The Paul Robert Market is indeed a market that mainly deals in antiques and cultural toys. If you walk into a store here, the prices of the goods inside are all in units of [-] or even [-] euros. Yang Jing thought to himself that the little money in his pocket is You can't find anything good in this kind of store.
However, what should be visited is still to be visited. Yang Jing stopped and stopped, and after a while, his attention was attracted by a shop full of clocks and watches.
After strolling into this shop, I was convinced that this shop was indeed a shop mainly dealing in various second-hand clocks and watches.
As soon as he entered this shop, Yang Jing was dazzled by all kinds of clocks and watches.
Yang Jing can swear that he has never seen so many clocks in the same place since he was a child.
Mechanical grandfather clocks, mechanical wall clocks, electronic clocks, pocket watches, men's watches, ladies' watches... Yang Jing couldn't even estimate how many clocks there were in this small shop.
The clocks and clocks here are hung and placed very densely. Yang Jing even maliciously guessed that the reason why the owner of this shop placed the clocks in this way was to scare people with intensive phobia on purpose.
