LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Emmaüs Bizot is located on avenue du Général Michel Bizot in the 12th arrondissement, far removed from tourist clichés and genuinely embedded in neighbourhood life. This is a solidarity-driven address with gentle prices — expect to pay between 3 and 20 euros — where you'll sift through an eclectic stock: unisex clothing spanning decades, vinyl records waiting to be discovered, toys, tableware, linens and decorative objects of every description. The appliances section warrants a visit: refrigerators and washing machines arrive carefully cleaned, which is far from standard in this type of establishment. That said, with electronics, take time to test items on site before purchasing — some have been reported as defective after use.
As for toys, prices can vary depending on who you're dealing with; it's best to approach any negotiation tactfully. The Google rating remains modest at 3.8, reflecting an experience that varies somewhat from day to day, but for those who know how to search without fixed expectations, there are genuine finds to be made in this unapologetic jumble.
« Bon accueil. Beaux vinyles !mais ils n'ont (presque )plus de vinyles et le radio cd cassettes dont on m'a affirmé qu'il avait été vérifié z sa partie cassettes qui ne fonctionne pas. Il est vrai que le prix était très bas (8€)! Ceci dit boutique très sympathique ! »
