Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The brocante tradition in France treats secondhand dealing as social archaeology — every object carries a life story that Louis weaponizes for detective work.

Trivia

Victor Lanoux reportedly did his own haggling in real markets to stay authentic; some sellers never realized he was famous.
