excuse my ignorance but what is a consignment shop.Is it a second hand shop?

YES...a consignment shop--%26#39;..depôt-vente..%26#39; usually sells second-hand merchandise. %26#39;..Stock..%26#39; shhops are usually shops for store or manufacturer over-stocks or discontinued items.

A consignment shop sells used clothes and other items but it%26#39;s not a thrift shop, i.e. a place where donations are made. Consignment means that the person who brought the clothes to the shop gets a percentage of the sale. consequently, the shop has strict rules about the clothing being in style, in season, and in very good condition. I have gotten expensive labels in consignment stores and they are a lot of fun to browse through.

Thanks for clearing that up .So what do I look for when looking for
%26quot;stock%26quot; (end of line etc stores) shops in french? I don%26#39;t want to traipse out to one of those outlet places miles out and was wondering if any single or smaller outlet style shops were around within Paris?

You are looking for pretty much what they say %26#39;..depot-vente%26#39; or %26#39;..stock..%26#39;. These places are scattered all over Paris....as one might expect, what you find at any. on any given day, will be %26#39;..hit or miss..%26#39; But if you%26#39;re looking for a %26#39;..concentration..%26#39; of these shops, then try down along the rue d%26#39; Alesia in the 14eme, from Metro: ALESIA to PLAISANCE.. If you happen to be down in this neighborhood on a weekend, there is also the Vanves flea market, in the area, at Ave. de la Porte de Vanves %26amp; rue Marc Sangnier, 75014, Metro : PORTE de VANVES---Saturday, Sunday 7 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.
