The façade of the Galerie des Minimes gives a small hint of what awaits the avid treasure hunter when they enter, as it is unusually long. Signs announcing the antique and vintage-filled interior stretch across at least three or four of the building's storefronts, making it clear that collectors are in for a treat. This store dances on the line between a kind of gallery or museum of antique pieces and a flea market experience, which we think is a winning combination!
Although there is clearly a background of real expertise in the field of antiques driving the Galerie des Minimes, visitors need not worry that they need to be professional collectors to be welcome here. The staff here is always friendly and happy to help shoppers with any questions they may have, whether motivated by the need for a specific item to add to a collection, or simply browsing and enjoying the search for older and unique items. Whatever the reason for visiting this store, it is difficult for anyone to leave empty-handed.
The Gallerie des Minimes has a wonderful selection of vintage and antique items, and the types of goods found here are diverse indeed. You will find Chinaware, porcelain figurines of all sizes, furniture from all periods and in all shapes and sizes, works of art, lighting fixtures, busts, musical instruments, taxidermy mounts for hanging, small ornaments, numerous decorative items, and much more.
Collectors need not worry about when to head to the Gallerie des Minimes, as the store is open every day of the week. No need to worry about always being confronted with the same tired stock though; the staff here take great care to both continuously rotate items and source new stock, so even the most regular of visitors will always have something new to see and be tempted by.
