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.

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.

Super interesting antique shopping…read more Located just at the north edge of Paris in Saint-Ouen, this area is one of many market areas. This was probably the nicest of all- large covered areas, clean, smooth walkways, clean restrooms and a couple of cafes. Most stores here are selling high end antique furniture. Beautiful pieces, many look new. Other shops carried vintage high fashion that would make a girl cry. Then there were the shops that sold the small antique household items. On the weekend around the backside, locals set up small tables and create their own flea market area. Be warned, prices inside and still seem very high. But the furnishings were absolutely gorgeous. Worth spending a couple of hours to experience a different part of Paris.

Known as the biggest and best flea market in the entire world. I am not surprised. The place is…read morehuge, as it seems to swerve in and out for miles & miles and nooks and crannies. The wide variety of tempting treasures from true antiques to the rarest of finds to vintage items and lots of old French style. My only issue is if you're not comfortable and able to converse in the French language, you're going to have some difficulties shopping here. Prices are high, yet you're supposed to bargain. I personally don't know how to communicate much in a language I don't know, so I spent most of my time as a touring lookie lou. I suppose that's fine, but I would have liked to consider purchasing some things, but couldn't, except for at the booths where English was spoken.

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.

This was a fun way to spend a Saturday. We took an Uber to Saint Ouen to browse the flea markets…read more Our favorite set of "fleas" was Paul Serpette, where boyfriend found several sets of coveted chairs, one of which he may purchase. There is so much to see here. So many shops and streets, with so much to browse through: jewelry, clothing, dishes, silverware, vinyl albums, books, antique furniture, art, art prints - the list goes on and on.

Yeah, all the guidebooks and web sites say "go here!"…read more Hmm. If you were between 20-35 years old and lived in Paris and didn't have a ton of $ but had some and wanted to buy a few pieces of cool furniture to make your apartment look interesting, or if you want to spend the day with friends thrifting clothes or records or other things, cool. But otherwise, it's not all that. Firstly, the block of stands you encounter when you first get off the #4 purple line is NOT technically the Puces. It's people selling knock-off sneakers and merch. You must travel further in (refer to the posted map on the main street) to find the good sections (Paul Bert, Biron, Dauphine, Serpette, etc.). Sure, it somewhat interesting for a few hours and gives you a different view of Paris than the touristy spots and yes, it has an interesting history (it's more than 100 years old), but I wouldn't go back unless I was a local.
