Paris
Huge thanks to Gabriela Giacoman of French Boutik for the help in compiling this guide to Paris. If you can add to it in any way, do get in touch.
In addition to what is here, a couple of useful links. If you are looking for used or vintage records, check this site or if you want vintage clothing (which isn’t as easy as you might think in Paris), this blog should help. There is also a schedule for boot fairs here.
