LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Ma Ressourcerie is located on Avenue d'Italie in the 13th arrondissement, with a distinctly mission-driven approach: giving everyday objects a second life at accessible prices, ranging from one to twenty euros. The shop stocks a little of everything — secondhand books, pre-owned clothing and shoes, baby items, and miscellaneous objects — spread across two levels. The ground floor warrants attention: a few belts are scattered on the floor and may catch you off guard. The basement requires some care when descending.
On the practical side, opening hours listed online are not always reliable; it's best to call ahead before visiting. If you wish to make a donation, note that deposits are no longer accepted after 3pm on Saturdays. Service varies depending on the staff and the day, and pricing can sometimes lack consistency — but for unearthing a one-euro book or building a budget wardrobe in south Paris, this address remains a worthwhile option to keep in mind.
« Première visite dans cette recyclerie à deux pas du métro Tolbiac. Petits prix pour du "Paris", personnels agréables, souriants, prêt à rendre service. Je suis ravie de mettre perdue dans le coin. Au plaisir de revenir chiner des trésors. »
