The Jardin du Luxembourg, the Paris Opera, the Grand Mosque of Paris, the Musée d'Orsay, etc., are all places worth visiting, especially the Musée d'Orsay, if you go to Paris and don't go to the Musée d'Orsay, the Parisians will definitely laugh at it secretly.
Unlike the Louvre, there are few people here, and it is a good place to quietly enjoy and feel the influence of art.
Of course, these are all places where the three girls like to play, and Xiao Peng's favorite place is not there, but the Saint-Tuan flea market.
When Xiao Peng arrived here, he felt that he had come to heaven!
The Paris Saint-Touin Flea Market is the largest flea market for antique art in the world.
Today, it has become a large flea market group with a total area of more than 30,000 square meters composed of more than 10 small markets.
This Saint-Tuan market is the 'grandfather' of the Parisian flea market, and it is also the origin of the term 'flea market'.
Since the 19th century, a number of poor people who have lived outside the walls of Saint-Tuan have been selling their old goods here, and the thrift market has been called the 'flea market' due to the limited sanitary conditions and the abundance of fleas here.
Later, the walls were demolished.
But the market remained.
And gradually developed, now it is the world's largest in terms of rich content, and it is definitely a holy place for all kinds of antique second-hand items.
It is home to antique dealers, artists, craftsmen and designers, with more than 3,000 traders running their own shops.
What antique furniture, antique ornaments, what carved artworks, Taobao here is definitely a happy thing.
For Xiao Peng, who has a slight collecting fetish, this is heaven!
Xiao Peng stayed here for four days before finally completing his Taobao journey.
The reason why it took so much time was not that Xiao Peng was picky, but because 。。。。。。
Parisians are too lazy: On Monday morning, almost no shops are open, and even in the afternoon, at least half of the shops are closed until Tuesday.
Even during the business period, it was three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, doing business, and I didn't know what to do as soon as the store door was closed.
It was for this reason that Xiao Peng saw a lot of favorite things, but he waited for a long time because he couldn't find the boss.
It's a waste of time.
The most big product here is old furniture.
Parisians seem to have a soft spot for old furniture and have taken pleasure in it, so it's no surprise to find mirrored tables from hundreds of years ago.
Xiao Peng found a lot of interesting things here, what antique lighters, antique wine jugs, antique watches, etc., Xiao Peng also bought what Wa sabers and so on and other strange things, there is really everything here.
I thought that the three girls should not be interested here, but Xiao Peng suddenly found that the number of female tourists here is really not less than that of men!
When I got here, I realized that there are really a lot of retro clothes here.
Most of the young women who come here to shop are lovers of antique clothing.
Many of the biggest names in fashion have come here for inspiration and a lot of second-hand clothing, which shows that there are really a lot of good things here.
Antique costumes range from hundreds of years ago to decades ago.
The style is elegant and the price is expensive.
You can find LV discontinued suitcases, antique printed bags on CDs, and Hermes and the like.
You can even find court costumes from hundreds of years ago.
As well as antique tapestries, carpets, jewelry decorations, etc., these are the sourcing targets of the three girls.
Speaking of which, this is the difference between China and European and American countries.
In China, people like antiques, but they don't like old clothes, they don't think it's very hygienic, except for a few luxury goods or necessities, they are not willing to use what others have used.
So there are very few second-hand clothes stores in China.
But in Europe and the United States, it doesn't matter.
No matter what second-hand items, they are very supportive, and even the baby products that domestic mothers are most worried about can be found.
It can be said that in many European and American countries, more than half of the items used by ordinary people are purchased from second-hand stores, including clothes.
I don't care what is taken from the dead.
This is not a joke, in Western countries, when someone dies in the family, the family will leave some of their clothes, some as a memorial, and some for the real need of clothes.
The rest will be donated to second-hand stores, churches, shelters, etc., and many of the second-hand clothes bought in Western second-hand stores are taken from the dead.
If Jimma or Yumei don't care about these Xiao Peng, it can be understood, after all, the two families grew up in ordinary families before they became famous.
But this Yali is an aristocratic status, and she has been a golden branch since she was a child, and she is unambiguous in choosing second-hand clothes.
Xiao Peng was very surprised by this matter: "Yali, why do you also wear second-hand clothes?"
” Yali replied to Xiao Peng while looking at her clothes: "As long as it looks good, is there anything strange about this?"

Oh, you're worried about hygiene?
Rest assured, all old clothes must be disinfected and cleaned before they can be sold. ” Xiao Peng picked up a pair of Levi's jeans and said, "Look, I'm not mistaken."
These jeans are still flared pants. ” Gemma Ward turned her head to look: "This jeans are supposed to be pants between 1967 or 1968, is there a problem?"
” Xiao Peng looked at Jima Ward in confusion: "How did you know the production year of these jeans?"
” "It's very simple, I used to endorse Levi's jeans, and I learned about it, you see, the words on this trademark are all capital letters, and Levi's trademark before 1969 is like this, and the flared jeans were launched in 1967.
So it's not surprising to guess that these pants are a product of these two years!
Jimma Ward said.
When Xiao Peng heard this, he pointed to the jeans and said, "Have you considered a question?"
Half a century has passed, and the people who wore them back then are now too old, right?
It's possible to die.
Don't you think it's bad luck to wear the clothes of the dead?
” Yali was stunned when she heard this: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
My mother wore my grandmother's wedding dress when she got married, and it is still there for me to wear when I get married. ” "Ugh."
After listening to Yali's words, Xiao Peng really couldn't refute it, because he had a family heirloom cheongsam at home.
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "This is a commemorative value left by his family, can the clothes of his relatives be compared with the clothes worn by others?"
” Yali patted Xiao Peng's chest, and in his breast pocket was the wine jug that Nikolai gave him: "Your wine jug has been more than one hundred and seventy years now, how many owners have changed in the middle?"
Maybe several masters have died, right?
The watches and lighters you bought were all used by dead people, right?
So why do you still buy it?
” Xiao Peng has nothing to say at all, yes, you just think it's good!
If it weren't for Padgio calling a few people, Xiao Peng would have been here for a few more days, and Padgio called and asked Xiao Peng to hurry to the Virgin Hotel.
However, Padgio also choked Xiao Peng angrily, and the phone call was so anxious, but when Xiao Peng arrived at the Virgin Hotel, he only saw Richard waiting for him there, and Padgio hadn't come here yet.
Richard saw Xiao Peng walk into the hotel, greeted Xiao Peng and said, "Xiao, beauties, rest here for a while, Pagio called me just now and said that he was stuck in a traffic jam, and you know how the traffic in Paris is." ” Xiao Peng was speechless: "This Pagio, he called me, but he didn't see anyone." ” Richard said, "Maybe I want you to have more fun in Paris, Xiao, where are you going?"
” "Saint-Tuan Flea Market."
Xiao Peng replied: "Don't say it, I really found a lot of interesting things there."
After speaking, Xiao Peng took out a medal from his pocket: "I even bought this thing, and it was said that the Gallic economy was sluggish, but I wouldn't sell this too, right?"
I saw all sorts of old medals there.
I thought it was interesting, so I bought some. ” Richard took it and said, "Oh, this is the OBE of the Eagle Country." ” “obe？”
Xiao Peng looked at Richard in puzzlement.
Richard explained: "It is the Order of the British Empire, which has five ranks from high to low, namely the Grand Cross of the Order of the Britannica, that is, the GBE, and the abbreviated KBE, the Order of the Commander; and the Commander's Medal, that is, the CBE, as well as the Order of the Officer and the Order of the Officer, this OBE is the Order of the Officer.
It's not rare, my queen gave me the GBE medal back then, Xiao, although you like the medal, but my medal can't be given to you, it's my family honor. ” "Of the five divisions, only the two highest divisions are knighthoods, such as Manchester United's Alex Ferguson, for example, I have obtained knighthoods like this, like the actor 'Roll' Cumberbatch, and the Beckhams, they also got medals, but not enough for them to get knighthoods, because their ranks are lower.
Like the Beckhams, they both have this OBE medal.
This type of medal is not rare, and the number of medals awarded each year is not more than 858.
However, this one looks like it's old, so it's a little more collectible than the normal one. ” Xiao Peng nodded: "I just bought these medals because I thought they were fun, and I didn't have to do with half a dime to see what kind of title, just put it there to look good."
That's why I don't want your medal either, so I'll keep it for your children. ” Richard was just about to return the medal to Xiao Peng, when his outstretched hand suddenly stopped: "Huh?
But his eyes looked straight at the reverse side of the medal.
Xiao Peng followed Richard's eyes and saw the English inscription 'b-j-jas' on the back of the medal.
Richard took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone to check some information, and said to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, I have to say, you have found something very memorable." ” Xiao Peng was stunned: "What?
Didn't you say that this medal is very common?
” Richard nodded: "This medal is very common, but it is not common to have this name." ” "What do you mean?"
Xiao Peng asked.
Richard explains: "This is a World War II hero.
You know, during World War II, some people were famous for their surprising victories, some people were famous for their bravery, but there were also people who were famous for other things, such as Bertram Jimmy James, the original owner of the medal, who became famous for his prison break. ” Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "What is it?"
Can you be famous for jailbreaking?
” Richard said: "Of course, prison escapes can also be famous, the most important thing is: where did he escape from prison, this Bertram Jimmy James, can be said to be the 'king of prison breaks' during World War II, the kind that escaped from German concentration camps." ” Xiao Peng became interested after hearing this: "Anyway, Pagio is not here now, and he is idle when he is idle, can you tell me his story?"

” Richard took out a cigar and handed it to Xiao Peng: "It's really not unusual for most prisoners of war to figure out how to get out of the damn prison, but James has already made the escape to the peak, and he personally planned thirteen large-scale prison escapes during his five-year prison life!"
” Xiao Peng took a breath after hearing this: "This guy is a talent, but I don't understand one thing, he can run away the first time, right?"
Why was it planned thirteen times?
Did he sacrifice his chance to escape in order to save people?
” Richard shook his head: "These thirteen prison escapes have all failed. ” "Huh?"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "Then he's still a fart prison escape king!"
” Richard shrugged: "Every time he fails, he will encounter inhuman torture, but on the road to escape, James has never relented, and is always busy making new escape plans, and it is precisely because of this spirit of never admitting defeat that people give him the title of 'King of Prison Break'." ” After hearing this, Xiao Peng looked at the medal in his hand with a puzzled expression: "So in the end, this is the medal of a fool who escaped from prison thirteen times without success?"
You still have to award him a medal for such a person?
Hey, you just said that thirteen prison escapes are all large-scale prison breaks?
” Richard nodded: "Yes!
What's wrong with that?
” Xiao Peng responded: "It's a big problem!
Thirteen major prison escapes have all failed, and many people must have died on the way to the prison escape, right?
Can you tell me how many people died because of his failed prison escape?
” Richard couldn't answer, Xiao Peng took a breath: "Just such a fool, killed so many people, but after the war, you called him the 'King of Prison Escape' and awarded him a medal?"
If it were me, I wouldn't be able to lose this person, okay?
This medal will definitely be sold!
Where is this Nima a hero, this whole thing is a harmful spirit!
” After hearing this, Yali said: "My dear, you really can't say that, failure is not his responsibility alone, haven't you seen the movie "The Great Escape"?
That's his story!
” "Damn, how can you make a movie about such a harmful story?"
