LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Tucked away on Boulevard Saint-Michel, this fifth-arrondissement thrift shop understands what hunters are really after: honest prices, regular stock rotation, and no-nonsense atmosphere. The racks blend decades with effortless ease — you'll find Levi's alongside Claudie Pierlot, Hermès slipped between Gap and Uniqlo, all for just a few euros. Second-hand pieces move quickly: new stock arrives on Fridays and Sundays, making these the best days to unearth something rare. But if you're playing it smart, come on Thursday — the cheapest day of the week, with items at €0.
95. The space is compact and can get crowded during peak hours; better to visit on a weekday outside the rush. A solid spot for vintage dresses, skirts and shirts without breaking the bank in one of Paris's most visited neighbourhoods.
« Une boutique magnifique, des jolies trouvailles pour les personnes qui aiment fouiller, des prix fonction des jours, et en plus Lili est absolument adorable, elle soigne la boutique pour la rendre toute propre et très accueillante. C'est le bonheur du boulevard St Michel devenu un peu tristounet »
