Practical tips
To visit these places, choose the pedestrian city center or public transport. Most of the shops are accessible via metro lines A or B, with nearby stations such as Capitole or Jean Jaurès. Note that many are closed on Mondays; always check opening hours before heading out. For example, Favoris Boutique Vintage and Singulier Boutique Vintage are closed on Mondays, while Kilostock opens from 2:00 p.m. that day. My local tip: go early on Saturday morning to avoid the crowds and get first pick of the new arrivals.
