With their patter and their gift of the gab, they sell products with revolutionary promises... The stars of the holiday season, they’re known as street vendors, hucksters, pedlars or hawkers. There are more than 30,000 of them in France. In the winter, they work the fairs; in the summer, the markets of seaside resorts. That's when they generally make most of their sales.

Whether they've been doing it for years or they're just embarking on their first season, on the beach or in the markets, they all have a flair for showmanship and, above all, for business!
