I just found a great website! It lists all the brocantes, antique shops, bijoux, vintage jewelry, old books, etc by arrondissement!! I was particulary interested in the Passy-Brocante. The shop closes at lunchtime, but it has a cafe , on a boat on the Seine, that stays open. I cannot wait to go. Pray for nice weather so we can eat on the deck! www.curiositel.com/antiquites-en-france/cartes/paris.htm

Oh Demarais, I'm afraid that, with this list, you've just turned my itinerary on its head. I'm thinking that, as I meander around, I can whip out the list when the spirit moves and see what's in the neighborhood. What a find! Thanks.

One caution about this site (I've been using it for years) is that it rarely seems to be updated. There are "shops" that have been vacant storefronts for years. There are also a number of listings that are waaaay off the mark in terms of what they actually sell.

Great website, Truffaut. I especially like the photos of your lovely apartment. Sigh..
Anyway, I am supposed to be working - not enjoying myself!

I spent the morning looking for the address of the brocante and riverboat cafe and finally found it. I think Darcy and I will be putting it on our must list! The shop closes at lunch as the owner is the chef at the cafe!
