The best fashion and gift stores Tréguier

Just down rue Ernest Renan, near the port, L'Histoire vagabonde offers a vast collection of second-hand and antiquarian books. We may be surprised to find one of our favorite childhood books, or fall for a superb art book, or an old edition of a literary classic. Every field has its own section: history, humanities, literature, geography, even fishing! Upstairs, one room is devoted entirely to history books, the other to paperbacks sold for a pittance. The store impresses with its extensive shelving. It's not unusual to feel a twinge of nostalgia when rediscovering forgotten collections... The atmosphere of the old building makes it all the more tempting to spend hours unearthing little treasures. Don't forget your backpacks - you're likely to come away with a heavy load!

This independent marine counter, installed since 1972 in an old tide mill, exudes an atmosphere that is both beautifully old-fashioned and timeless. Its three floors look like an Ali Baba's cave where lines, rods, reels, lockers and lures of all kinds are spread out before your eyes. You'll also find something to face the open sea in style: sailors' shoes, peaches, hats, docksides, boots and other oilskins. And if your boat needs a face-lift, you'll find antifouling paint and deck fittings. The salesmen are a good source of advice.

This delightful vintage haberdashery is located in the center of Tréguier. A lover of antique printed fabrics, Pascaline sells her discoveries, which she's been hunting out for 40 years, particularly in Great Britain. You'll also find old patterns, pretty buttons, hard-wearing linen, ribbons and handmade lace: everything you need to start creating cushions, bags or timeless, unique garments. The boutique also organizes knitting and crochet workshops.
