In practice
Most of these thrift stores are concentrated in the 1st and 6th arrondissements, easily accessible by tram (lines T1, T2, T3) or bus. Note that almost all of these shops are closed on Mondays. It’s best to plan your treasure hunt from Tuesday to Saturday. Hours often vary between 11 AM/12 PM and 7 PM, sometimes with a lunch break. My advice as a local: come early in the morning or during the week to avoid the weekend crowd and have first pick on new arrivals.
