Ressourcerie Paris Centre L'Alternative
Ressourcerie Paris Centre L'Alternative
PORTRAIT
Tucked away on rue Léopold Bellan in the 2nd arrondissement, L'Alternative is a non-profit resource centre that operates in a category of its own. There is no carefully curated selection or theatrical presentation here; the stock is dense, varied, and that is precisely what makes it worthwhile. You'll find women's clothing, coats and jackets in good condition, but also everyday tableware at gentle prices, recent paperbacks, toys and school supplies — even plumbing materials for the DIY enthusiast. It is one of the rare addresses in Paris where you can drop off a donation and leave with useful purchases in a single visit. Prices, ranging from 30 to 50 euros, remain consistent with the venue's social mission. If you're after straightforward secondhand goods in central Paris, without pretence and with genuine social purpose, this is where it happens.

2 years agoTrès belle boutique avec un personnel agréable et professionnel. On y trouve divers produits allant des vêtements aux meubles en passant pas des produits électroniques et tout ça pour des prix vraiment attractifs. L'ambiance du lieu est plutôt cool ! Il y a même un atelier de recyclage au fond.
5 months agoJ’adore les ressouceries mais c’est dommage que les prix soient aussi élevés dans celle ci. Ma cousine a acheté un manteau et a retrouvé l’étiquette originale dans la poche dont le prix était inférieur :/ Les articles sont assez cher, on voit que le lieu s’adapte aux prix du quartier, dommage
6 months agoRessourcerie très bien achalandée en vêtements femmes. Beaucoup moins de choix pour les hommes. La partie librairie est un peu petite mais livres de poche recents. Vaisselle de tous les jours à pas cher.
