Factual error: Assane is in front of the violin store with his friend. This is approx. 1995. There is a Peugeot 2008 driving and you can see a Mini clubman twice. (00:19:09)
Factual error: When Claire goes to the violin shop, she is told a price in French Francs, which was normal at the time of the action (1995), but when Assane talks it out with his friend at school, the currency has changed to Euros, which only came into existence in 2002 in everyday lives.
Plot hole: The protagonist gets in the exclusive, multi-millionaire, invites-only auction because the invitation is on a printed letter that he faked. This means that the guards at the entrance don't have a guest list to check, and since nobody knows who this person is, the staff does run a background check on his identity when he makes the first outrageous bid...by looking his name up on Wikipedia. That's mighty low standards of security, especially for an auction that was supposed to be for a selected audience and the most important in France.
