Flea Markets in Paris

So funny, a friend JUST emailed me this tip after I sent him some questions of things to do in Paris:

Don't know if I mentioned this flea-market district. We spent hours wandering the various halls, streets, and buildings. So diverse.

Now I'm interested in flea markets!
EDIT: Just checked the Rick Steves Paris Guidebook. There are 5 pages on Flea Markets! 3 pages describing the one in the link my friend sent me.

Here is a pretty comprehensive list of flea markets in Paris. It's in French, but it's easy enough to decipher even if you're not able to read French.

The big one of course is St. Ouen -- and a more manageable one is Porte Vanves.

But there are few bargains at these Fleas; every amazing deal I have gotten has been at a vide grenier -- basically garage sale type sales that pop up from time to time. Lots of junk; lots of people who haul the same trash from neighborhood sale to neighborhood sale -- but also the occasional bargain. I got 4 very nice Champagne flutes at one in. Batignolles last year for 15 Euro -- cost me more for the plastic refrigerator storage boxes I needed to transport them home in my luggage. I have gotten some great costume jewelry and a really nice watch for 10 Euro that still works great and looks great 15 years later.
