This month we’re giving away two Eurostar tickets for the ultimate shopping Traincation. To coincide with this competition, we thought we’d make some Paris guides to get you in the mood. This, week we bring you our best places to do your vintage shopping so you can Turn Up The Style and Turn Down The Heat


The St. Ouen Flea Market

We’ve already shown you how to visit St. Ouen Flea Market on Traincation. It’s the biggest of its kind in the world and should not to be missed on a trip to Paris. There are around 3,000 dealers, selling great antiques, trinkets, art, books and (most importantly) vintage clothes. Many of the stalls are permanent, and you will need a good few hours to get through everything and find the best winter jumper bargain.

The tiny Coiffeur Vintage is an adorable boutique store in the heart of Paris. It has great deals on vintage jumpers and quirky cardigans starting from around €10. It can get very busy inside, so we’d recommend going in the early morning to avoid the crowd and snatch up the best bargains.

Free P Star is quite an experience – the store itself is stunning, with tumbling walls of vintage bags and shoes, and endless rails of unusual and great value clothing. It’s a very popular vintage shop so get ready to be a little bit squashed!
