There are several such markets in the French capital, but Saint-Ouen can be considered the most famous, and if you take into account that all other markets are no different from it, to familiarize themselves with the application of these public places.

Russians who are not prone to delicacy in value judgments have a shorter and more vague definition in the vocabulary, but the refined French called people who, under cover of night, chose different things from the pile of garbage and hurried they are more likely to be exchanged or sold, "fishermen under the moon". There have been attempts to carry out such transactions in the city, but a large conglomeration of not very prominent personalities forced the French authorities to move the whole thing out of the city wall where Saint-Ouen was founded, as well as a number of other similar markets.

In a century of tolerance and forgiveness markets again became part of the city. Nevertheless, many people strongly do not recommend taking a passport with them and more than a hundred dollars for a walk around the "shopping areas", as a total of about one million people visit flea markets every day, including people with experience in pocket thefts.
