LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Emmaüs Défi Riquet has established itself on rue Riquet in the 19th arrondissement as a natural fit: a large secondhand solidarity space rooted in the neighbourhood, running at full capacity thanks to private donations and the work of its insertion teams. The stock shifts constantly — vintage clothing from the 1960s and 70s, curated furniture, books of every description, decorative objects, toys and accessories of all kinds. The atmosphere is relaxed, almost festive on certain days, far removed from the overly polished vintage shops where you hesitate to touch anything.
Here, you hunt, you explore, sometimes leaving empty-handed and sometimes with an unexpected find. Prices remain accessible, true to Emmaüs's philosophy, and every purchase directly supports the organisation's social mission. A solid spot for those seeking affordable vintage in northeast Paris, without pretension.
« Hyper disponibles ! Merci ! Nous sommes arrivés avec neuf sacs et cartons de vêtements. Les compagnons sont venus tout de suite décharger la voiture avec un chariot. Parfait ! Les trois places de livraison côté rue Curial sont bien pratiques. À recommander ! »
