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.

Our daughter wanted to visit a Parisian flea market, so we stopped by earlier today…read more This flea market was a short uber ride from our hotel at the other end of the 14th arrondissement; we arrived around 11 am and stayed past 1. The market is not very big - vendors get set up along a couple of streets. It helps to speak a little bit of French, which then allows them to speak a little bit of English. Some vendors can be rude or aggressive, and can inflate prices when they realize you're not a local. But most of the ones we encountered were fair, helpful and kind. The girls bought some things, as did I. There is an excellent and inexpensive Viennoiserie at the peripherique end of the marché aux puces, opposite the Novotel. We had sandwiches and drinks and desserts there before taking an uber back to our hotel. Enjoy!

A good sized, enjoyable flea market - way less intimidating than Cligancourt and much better prices…read moretoo. The "stuff" part of antiques, vintage etc is about 4 blocks long and at the end of that there are a few blocks of used clothing. The day I visited there was a lot of vintage books, cool costume jewelry and miscellaneous household items. What there wasn't a lot of is tourists, the crowd is mostly local. That's nice but if you are a tourist you must behave properly. That means saying "hello" and "goodbye" if you enter a stall, not touching/pawing merchandise without permission and having some basic french at your disposal. My mom did not follow these rules and she didn't buy anything because prices magically skyrocketed for her. Be polite, and you'll score some good deals and bring home a truly authentic souvenir.

Rating Scale: 1 Star: Avoid the town in which this place is located just to be safe. 2 Star: With so many great places to choose from, why risk this one? 3 Star: I'll try it again or consume here in a pinch. 4 Star: I go here regularly if financially and/or calorically feasible. 5 Star: I look forward to taking my wife or friends here.

Furniture, paintings, statues, sculptures.......all in pristine condition & all for sale Showcased in 2 large rooms, we were led around the items & had a lovely discussion about their circumstance, the material makeup, the certificate price - all items came with a certified assessment and guarantee of authenticity. We were advised shipping was free of charge and there was ample room for price negotiation I believe this is the same set of hosts for another Art Deco exhibition we had seen posters for, during our last visit to Paris but had not been fortunate enough to attend. The people we spoke with also advised that in a few years' time, or any time really, if we wanted to pursue the sale of the items we purchased, they would be happy to work with us to find new homes......but they were so exquisite that I would have a difficult time seeing anyone wanting to let go of these treasures. If you are seeking to add a lovely item to your home collection, these people are extremely eager to make a sale

You'll find the pumpkin colored corner facade of La Boulangerie at the bottom of the stairs ending on Rue des Trois Frères right where it meets Rue la Vieuville. This was my favorite shop during my visit to Paris. My preference for shopping does not include Paris design houses nor luxury brands. If you enjoy Lous Vuitton, wear Louboutin heels, etc. this is not your shop. La Boulangerie is a quaint little shop featuring French designers only and had an array of women's clothing grouped by designer. I adored the women's clothing, bags, and jewelry. I would describe the style to be indie in a Portland, SF sort of way (but French obviously)and cute, not really edgy. Didn't think of it at the time so I don't have any photos but the yelp photos from two years ago don't reflect current stock or layout. 1/3 of the store was devoted to children's clothing, which looked cute and well-made but I didn't really look through that section. If you're looking for unique clothes or jewelry or something cute to dress your kids in, which you won't be able to get outside of France, La Boulangerie is the perfect choice.

Located on Montaigne Avenue, the Dior Gallery is a stunning walk through experience through…read moreChristian Dior's journey and designs across the years. Tucked amongst the buildings on the street, it's almost hard to believe how large the gallery is on the inside as there is so much to see from dresses to accessories to magazines and more. Upon entering, the exhibition starts at the top floor, where you make your way through the building and steadily downwards on a journey through time. This is a fun experience for those who love fashion, history, and art, but there is truly much to appreciate for someone coming in with no prior knowledge or expectation. This gallery is extensive and they change out the pieces periodically, so there's a lot of re-visit value. The gallery goes beyond fashion and has moments discussing Christian Dior's personal life, the building itself, and how the Dior name continues to thrive in modern-day couture. At the end of the gallery they have their own Dior Le Café, which carries both drinks and food, and a mini gift shop section. I found it a great spot to relax and rechage. *Lucky Sando en trio: This trio of sandwhiches was delicious and larger than expected for a tea-time-style snack. The egg-mayonnaise was moist and flavorful, tasting as expected. I enjoyed the smoked salmon and cucumber one which provided a refreshing and cooler-tasting sandwich. The chicken with spices was the most unique one of the three. It had tumeric and other spices that made it stand out. It held the most umami. *Caesar salad with Chicken: This dish was crafted together at table-side which was both unexpected and lovely to experience! I appreciated the different toppings to what I thought was going to be a generic salad, and the overall outcome was very vibrant. The chicken itself is a fully seasoned and cooked fillet, making this dish very filling. *Chocolate Chaud: This is my favorite drink in France, and ordering it here was no different. Deeply rich and made with heavy cream and dark chocolate, chocolate chaud tastes like drinking liquid chocolate straight from a pot. Generally, you can purchase tickets online for a specific date and time with full price being 16 EUR, though there are discounted options available. You can also try your hand for a walk-in visit, though the line can get rather long. I was fortunate enough to enter for free and without a wait, which I am extremely grateful to the team for!
