I visited several of the markets at St-Ouen and Vernaison ended up being my favorite. It has pretty…read moremuch everything honestly - from trinkets to jewelry/fashion to furniture, art and everything in between. Once inside, it's a literal maze of stalls to explore. You could spend most of a day here, no problem. There's a ton of high end stuff but also a fair amount of reasonably priced things that are easy to bring home - vintage linens, silver flatware, books, jewelry and much more. Now, these are experienced dealers so you're not going to get a real Chanel bag for $100 but I did think many of the prices were affordable. There's a epic poster shop, a fun dead stock store (Tombee Des Camions) and too many more to mention.

I have been frequenting Marche Vernaison and the surrounding other Flea Markets at St Ouen for…read moreyears. There are several all in the same area and they are open to the public on weekends. One can literally spent the entire day shopping and looking. It really is a mind blowing experience. Everything from the funky to the serious antiques. Looking for something weird and odd? You will find it. Looking for a dining table from 1600? You will find it. Marche Vernaison has a bit of everything but more of the funky odd items than the other Marche's close by. If it is your first time going and you plan to go by the Metro please heed my advise. You will get off at the Porte de Clingancourt Metro Stop. When you exit you will see a Flea Market off on the left side of the street with tents and such and will most likely think this is where it starts. WRONG! Yes there is a flea market there but it is a bit sketchy. It has t shirts, cheap sunglasses, knock off bags, junk like that. I made the mistake of going in there the first time I went and immediately wanted to get out but then had to go through it to get out and ended up having my Gucci sunglasses pick pocketed from my person. It is not the Flea market you are looking for. My advise is when leaving the Metro stay on the right hand side of the street and continue past the underpass. These days there is a bit of the sketchy stuff that appears on that side of the street as well but it is easier to traverse and then after the underpass you will see the Marche Vernaison on the left. Cross at that intersection. Marche Vernaison and the other Flea Markets at St. Ouen are not the only flea markets in Paris if you are really into that thing but it is really an amazing and mind blowing experience you shouldn't miss when in Paris.

Indoor/outdoor flea market. Upon arrival you'll see merchant stalls on the exterior of the market…read morethat sell cheap clothing, knockoff brands, etc. This will be a major disappointment but inside the market are proper antique/vintage stalls selling better quality items at inflated prices. Across the road are at least three more flea markets which are fun to walk around and interesting. Lots of silver, china, antique fabrics/clothing, rugs, furniture, art and tons more. I did not buy a thing as it's all expensive and would be very difficult to bring/send back to the states.

Whatever you're into, they'll probably have it - super high end antiques (fireplace mantels from…read moreold mansions, a whole-ass carriage, tons of 17-18th century furniture along with modern designer furniture too), jewelry, silver, vintage everything. It's huge - several blocks, with more than a dozen markets, independent shops and more casual table top vendors. Do some research ahead of time so you know where to start because it can be overwhelming. There are plenty of quick cafes and places to grab a bite. Here's what I found: Paul Bert/Serpette - high end, mostly furniture. Some high end vintage clothing here too. Marche Biron - middle of the road with lots of furniture and artwork. Marche Dauphine - for the cool kids. Art, vintage clothes, records and some book/print dealers. Marche Vernaison - a maze of more than 100 dealers. This is the best place to find smaller, reasonably priced things to bring home. I enjoyed this market the most. Overall - if you have time and are willing to make a big of a trip, this can be super fun. The metro is an option but the 85 bus drops you right in the market and saves you dealing with the sketch "thieves market" between this and the Metro.

The menu is rather small, with coffee drinks and homemade pastries at reasonable prices. We got some iced tea to go and had to wait quite a bit for the shopkeeper to fetch ice; it was rather warm in the shop so I don't know if I'd hang out here in the heat of summer again. The iced tea hit the spot and fueled us for more exploring.

The market made me wish I was an interior designer with a chic flat in Paris to adorn with all the treasures this place had. Back to this quaint cafe! One of the yummiest chai lattes and banana breads I've had and like in Argentina, all the drinks came with little tea cookies with the cutest touch. This is the perfect place to stop off for a coffee and bite while you enjoy all the market has to offer. Get some ceramics for me when you go, sadly there wasn't any room in my carry-on because it was chalk full of Parisian skincare products.
