We recently escaped for a long weekend to Paris - a much-needed respite from daily reality. Rather than venturing to the famous flea markets outside the city, we chose to explore the intimate neighborhood antique galleries, brocantes, and weekend markets within Paris itself. With winter's quiet charm and lighter foot traffic, we uncovered some extraordinary treasures for the shop.
