If you love second-hand goods, if you know how to see the beauty in objects or clothes that have already had a thousand lives, then La Venelle is going to be your paradise on earth. It’s a unique place in the Paris region where you can junk, repair, learn, cook, debate… In short, a wonderful place to live, located in Montreuil, just outside Paris.
A street dedicated exclusively to second-hand goods in the heart of Montreuil
This 1,800 m² hybrid space is a lifestyle experience in its own right. In the heart of the Montreuil district, just opposite the Robespierre metro station, you’ll find stylish thrift shops, vintage furniture, reconditioned household appliances… And all at low prices! Inaugurated on September 3, this veritable bargain-hunters’ village is made up of eight solidarity stores, including Emmaüs Défi, la Recyclerie Sportive and Envie Trappes. You’ll also find an XXL workshop where you can learn how to repair your household appliances, sew your jeans or improve your furniture.
Finally, to share good times, and perhaps find some inspiration, head for the cultural café-cantine de la Venelle. An ultra-convivial place where you’ ll love to brunch, have a cup of coffee, enjoy the various acoustic concerts and even take part in creative workshops with the whole family.
