LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Tucked away at 49 rue Saint-Paul in the heart of Village Saint-Paul, this shop needs no introduction to local regulars—but we love introducing it to everyone else. Here, crates of vinyl records and VHS tapes sit alongside carefully curated vintage denim and a fine collection of brocante finds sourced from across the city. The atmosphere is eclectic without being chaotic: everything is here, but it requires patience to unearth it. And that's precisely the point. Good news for vinyl enthusiasts: you can listen before you buy, a rarity worth its weight in gold.
Plan on spending at least an hour if you're the type who enjoys digging—the best discoveries don't reveal themselves immediately. A Fripmap score of 8.9 and a Google rating of 4.6 confirm what regulars already know.
« Laurent est vraiment sympa. Entrer dans sa boutique, c'est comme faire un bond dans le passé. Ses cartes de visite artisanales témoignent de son attachement aux méthodes d'antan. Un choix incroyable de disques (il y en a à n'en plus finir). Il y a toujours de la musique dans la boutique. Ambiance géniale ! »
