Nestled in the Marais Free 'P' Star is a treasure trove of all things vintage. From 70s dresses, to denim waistcoats, 80s t-shirts, chunky knits and a tangled mountain of leather belts and bags, you're guaranteed to stumble across a second-hand fashion jewel on any visit. Compared to Paris's other vintage boutiques, Free 'P' Star miraculously manages to keep its prices low, whilst not scrimping on quality. What the shop lacks in floor space it makes up in quantity, and you can enjoy a good rummage whilst sandwiched between Paris's hippest boys and girls. Access to the equally well-stocked basement floor is via a spiral staircase, and entertainment provided by a suitably retro playlist. The best part comes afterwards when you can enjoy re-examining your purchases over a cafe creme in any of the eateries on its doorstep in the Marais.
