Paris flea markets....

Ola! ola,

... Below is the URL for Tom's Guide to Paris. If the guide mentions flea markets, I missed seeing it. However, at the bottom of the guide's home page you will find an invitation entitled "Contact Me". Click on it and ask Tom in an email... bon voyage!... P

The markets will vary day to day - but one that I frequent is at Correntin Celton (Line 12) on Tuesday and Thursdays - it is typically clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, hats etc. They do tend to close between 14h and 15h

The flea markets of Paris are great- something for everyone. My husband and I really think the best and most fun one is Port de Vanves.It is on Saturday and Sunday. It is very easy to get to on the Metro and it has reasonable prices. Go early ( about 9:00 A.M.), and then have lunch, and you have the rest of the day for other things.

Puces St. Ouen: It's the mother of all flea markets. More than 2000 vendors! Sat / Sun/ and Monday. parispuces.com will give you specifics.

Port de Vanves or Porte de Montreuil are more of a neighborhood flea market. While vendors do seem to have their assigned places, it is more flea stuff, rather than antique stuff. If you are looking for shops and antiques, head for St Ouen.

But you say you are not looking for antiques - since we don't know exactly what you are looking for, it is difficult to send you to the right market. There are many markets in Paris - ranging from junk to flowers to imports to door knobs . . .
