The Santouan flea market covers a large area. It is said that this is the largest flea market in Europe and even the world, with more than 500 shops and more than 2,500 stalls, with a total area of ​​more than 30,000 square meters. .

After getting off the bus, Yang Jing discovered that this market, which is known as the largest flea market in the world, does not look like a market on the surface, but when it looks more like residential areas, it is basically two or three. Floor small building.

In fact, the Santouan Flea Market is a general term. This market is composed of more than a dozen markets. For example, the Macli Market is mainly engaged in second-hand clothing, accessories, and ethnic goods; the Kanbo Market is mainly engaged in paintings and furniture. , Works of art; Byron market mainly deals in antiques and works of art; Jules Bayes market mainly deals in small antiques, furniture, and printed products; Bao Robert market mainly deals in antiques and high-quality small antiques; Saibet market mainly deals in 19 New art, antiques and paintings from the end of the century.

The small markets that make up the Santouan Flea Market, each of which mainly deal with different commodities, will form a brand concentration effect, attract more merchants to join in, and make the variety of products in the Santouan Market more diverse. Rich, in turn, will attract more tourists to come here, and gradually, it has become the premier flea market in Paris and even the whole of Europe.

In fact, the Saint-Touen flea market has long been recognized as the "grandfather" of the flea market in Paris. There are dozens of large and small flea markets in the greater Paris area. When it comes to flea markets in Paris, tourists first think of it. This will be the Santouan Flea Market.

　　The reason for this situation is that the Santouan flea market is indeed very large, and the other is that this market does have a very long history.

　　 It is said that as early as the beginning of the 19th century, some poor people living outside the walls of Saint-Tuan often sold second-hand goods again, and gradually formed a certain scale. However, because most of the people selling goods here are poor people who can't even eat enough, there are many fleas on this market. The term "flea market" has spread from this, and eventually made the entire Western world and even many places in China Second-hand commodity exchange markets have all been crowned with the name "flea market".

　　 Later, the city wall of Saint-Tuan was torn down, but this market still exists, so many antique dealers and second-hand dealers come here to buy goods wholesale, making this flea market more and more famous.

　　As the Paris city government began to plan and manage this market in a unified manner, the market gradually formed its current scale.

There are really a lot of people who come to this market every day to shop for treasure, entertain and play. At least Yang Jing got out of the car and saw many people coming in and out here, especially those not far away with sharp eyes. The black man who was not a good person made Yang Jing subconsciously hugged the backpack hung on his chest.

　　 In the words of the taxi driver just now, there are more thieves at the Saint-Tuan flea market than on the Place de la Concorde. It is a den of thieves in the entire Greater Paris area.

　　 was very cautious about the guys who were doing nothing and looking around with thieves, Yang Jing walked into the market with the flow of people.

When Yang Jing entered this area of ​​Santouan, it happened to be the Canbo Market, which deals mainly with paintings, furniture and works of art. The shops here are generally large, with a variety of second-hand furniture and even antique furniture. Of course, Yang Jing even saw several small galleries.

　　 As for the area that mainly deals with these products, Yang Jing has no intention to go shopping. Whether it’s furniture or paintings, it’s really hard to find out. The owner of the shop here has no idea how many years he has been in business, and he has not known how many times he has fiddled with the things in the shop. Any secret has been discovered long ago. Therefore, it is really rare to find leaks on such large items.

　　Besides, Yang Jing came here mainly to pick up the leaks. There is no place to pick up. He doesn't want to go shopping, let alone there are still many thieves here.

　　 speeded up the pace, Yang Jing quickly walked out of the Kanbo market and came to the adjacent Bao Robert market.

　　Bao Robert Market mainly deals in antiques and high-quality small antiques. Compared with the Kanbo Market I just walked through, it is not like a flea market at all, but more like an authentic antique cultural play market.

Most of the shops in Bao Robert Market are composed of small buildings with two or three floors. Although the area is not as large as those with furniture, the decoration is more refined, and the number of people visiting in this market is obviously less. . Even the thieves who don't look like good people seem to be much less here.

　　Perhaps the things operated in this market are relatively high-value items, so the public security conditions are relatively better. Yang Jing even saw two police officers on duty at a small intersection.

　　Also, most of the goods sold here are in units of ten thousand euros. If anything goes wrong here, it may have a huge impact on the entire market.

　　Bao Robert Market is not as noisy as the Canbo Market just now. It is much quieter here. Many people who are playing or Taobao are not talking loudly and appear to be of high quality.

　　 This situation made Yang Jing somewhat relaxed. The arms that had been clinging to his chest also relaxed, and his head dared to sway along with the line of sight.

　　 walked into a few shops casually, and soon walked out.

Bao Robert Market is indeed a market mainly dealing in antiques and cultural and entertainment. Just walk into a shop here. The price of the goods in it is 10,000 or even 100,000 Euros. Yang Jing thinks that the money in his pocket is No good things can be bought in this kind of shops.

　　 However, the one who should go shopping is to go shopping. Yang Jing stopped and went. After a while, his attention was attracted by a shop full of clocks and watches.

　　 I walked into this shop, and then I was convinced that this shop is really a shop that mainly sells all kinds of second-hand watches.

　　 As soon as he entered this shop, Yang Jing was fascinated by the various clocks.

　　 Yang Jing swears that he has never seen so many watches in the same place since he was a child.

　　 Mechanical grandfather clocks, mechanical wall clocks, electronic clocks, pocket watches, men's watches, ladies' watches... Yang Jing can't even estimate how many watches are in this small shop.

　　 The clocks are hung and placed very densely. Yang Jing even maliciously guessed whether the owner of this shop placed the clocks in this way because he was deliberately scaring people with intensive phobia...

　　PS: I would like to thank "Ice Eight Degrees" and "Lights See Others" for their 100 rewards.
