圣韦恩跳蚤市场

当我们在周日决定前往此区，六区咖啡馆的服务人员还好心的告诉我们说：『他绝对不会冒险的在周日带着另一半与年幼的小孩到跳蚤市场。』另外建议我们最好在中午之前就抵达。听从他的建议于十一点多就从地铁站出来，沿途的人还不多，在十字路口已经看到一些开着小货车或拿在手上贩卖仿冒品的小贩。我们两个大人从离开地铁后就觉得气氛很不一般，开始提高警觉的将小孩背在肩膀上，另一个人则紧紧的将包包抓好。直到通过露天摊贩区，到达跳蚤商店市场街后才稍稍松一口气，但是还是得注意随身财物。看到许多中国风＆欧风的古家具，二手名牌包和鞋（例如：看起来很有岁月痕迹的小香包），年代久远的玩具飞机和铁道列车，杯盘瓷器，画框，各式花色的钮扣，旧钱币，怀表，还有更多看起来像从许多人家里储藏室清出来的东西。逛完已经是下午两点半，到了地铁站，天啊！好多年轻的男子手中拿着地铁票站在自动售票机旁向人推销他们的票。还有更多人直接逃票跳进去地铁站。ＰＳ：若是要搭乘地铁，建议先准备好回程的地铁票。巴黎当地人告诉我们，扒手多出没于午后。

【Isle-sur-la-Sorgue】在普羅旺斯平原腹地，有據說是在巴黎Marche aux Puces de Saint Ouen和倫敦Portebello之後的世界第三大古董市場。與前兩個相較，我更愛這個，很多精緻的decoration，或者偏愛於旁邊汩汩流淌的小河和陽光也未可知。一小時內收入十張百年前的巴黎明信片，還有下圖另一件猜是什麼？

巴黎最大的跳蚤市场 Le marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, 好多美丽的古着和古灵精怪的东西。各种上个世纪的爱玛仕、香奈儿。古董相机、家具、首饰。视觉饕餮啊~

Spread over a huge area, it is worth visiting these markets just to take a look. The intricate pattern of alleyways, peppered with old, gnarled trees and surprising twists and turns, adds an otherworldly feel to the place. Stepping in to the markets from the bustling, slightly grubby streets outside transports you immediately to a place of delicious quirkiness. There's something for everyone - to see - but prices are high, so be prepared to walk away! As with any flea market you just never know what you will find, and the hidden stories behind the goods would fascinate anyone with a vivid imagination. A lovely experience, even if we didn't buy.

The neighbourhood is not the most nice one in Paris. But this market is really cool!! You don't expect it to be here ( when you get out of the subwaystation porte clignacourt ) We didnt felt so good, cause a lot of people were beggin for money or pushing phones/bags/watches in your hands to buy. But eventually we crossed the road towards st. ouen, walked along ,and suddenly we saw different kind of people ( fancy dressed ) going trough a door, that ended up in a tiny street with the antique little stores, adorable!! And soo much fun to see all the old things, paintings, dolls, jewelry, etc etc. we liked it a lot! If you love old stuff, a different kind of souvenir or a amazing piece of furniture, go and visit this market!

Of the several markets I would only rate a few as flea markets. They are mostly very over priced glassed in and guarded store fronts with way too much outrageous high end items. Next time I will go to one of Paris's other markets.

I lived in Paris for over a decade and this was one of my favs. I have found some unique gifts here for my family.....I bought a pre WWII map of Europe for my dad (a WWII buff) for a song. Can be pricey at some stands but such a hoot!

Even though this northern suburb has few remarkable sights to offer, it still draws Parisians to take the long metro ride out there. The reason is easy to understand once you have done your initial pilgrimage.... it is one of the world's largest flea markets. Held every Saturday, Sunday and Monday between the Porte de Clignancourt and the Porte de saint-Ouen, offering antiques and bric-a-brac to fill your collecter's heart There is another crowd that gravitate here for the cemetery , home to artists like Suzanne Valadon and muse for Toulouse Lautrac, but also writers like Odon von Horvath. Back at the super- marche, spread oput over a massive area, it has something for everyone and of-course for serious collectors, treasure-hunters, who have their work cut out for them working their way through tons of junk before finding something of value. Every trip to paris is not complete by attending this lovely market and having a superb lunch at local hang-outs.

I have visited so many flea markets around Europe and this is probably the biggest one! Though you have to take the metro till porte de Clignancourt which is at the northern part of Paris, i think it is really worthwhile. It has a huge selection of antique furnitures, silver items, chendeliers, paintings and renaissance style mirrors is very expensive as if you were visiting an antique shop of a snob Paris quartier! If you intend to purchase something you have to know in mind that you may spend a small fortune! No bargain prices here. If you hope to leave the city of light with an antique piece in your hands. If so choose another flea market as the one at porte de Vanves which may be much smaller but far cheaper!

My husband and I spent part of an afternoon here walking around taking in the Paris 'flea market' experience. It's not quite a flea market, as it's more of a collection of individual shoppes.Definitely worth going if you are a serious antiquer!The walk from the train is a little sketchy - you will be approached to purchase knock-off goods and I suggest watching your pockets, especially under the bridge!

If you in the mood to wonder around a huge antique market ,and stop for a bite in some urban Restorant near by ,it might be interesting for you .But first ....you have to came by taxi to avoid challenge to get to the area,it's going to take you all day ,you really have to like antiques and exotic stuff.The good news that you cal buy some interesting items there and you can negotiate the price ( but not to much )

Great place to visit if you know before how to do it. Accessing the area could be challenging. I recommend to avoid the public transportation and for once to come by taxi.This huge area was owned till 6 months ago by the Duke of Westminster who sold it to a French investor who announced that he will keep it this way.I recommend the Paul Bert, Serpette marché witch is the most select one.Famous l’Eclaireur opened a vintage shop here, worth to visit just for the guy working there at the exact address 77-81 rue des Rosiers, 93400 SAINT-OUEN.The small yard have a tart kluger shop also with tables outside.

I love the antiques section , for the rest I have never had the time to visit. The antiques if thats your thing , might take up all your time. The vendors range from polite to snobby to rude , but thats just Paris. I love one of the restaurants there in thats section that sells only chou croute many forms of the dish but only chou croute. There is a live singer at lunch time as well accompanied by an accordion player , of course . Its a real Parisian experience of a different kind for me . I love it , the antiques section of the flea market / march au pouces.

An enjoyable meander up and down the little side streets - was like dipping in and out of another world!

I finally went to Les Puces de Saint Ouen (the biggest and most well known Flea Market) last week-end. I followed the excellent instructions/map from OhHappyDay which really helped me navigate not only public transportation there, but also getting to the actual Flea Market. Most people think the swap meet is the flea market, but if you see knock off stuff for sale, you are definitely NOT at the flea market. A few words of caution, DO NOT carry your cash or credit cards in a purse or back pocket in this area, and DO NOT head back to the metro from any other street than the one in the OhHappyDay map. There is an entire tent city of homeless people under other parts of the bridge and the people hanging out next to the soccer field are very edgy, druggy, and easily provoked (and this was at noon on a week-end). If you are familiar with how the Bronx or Tijuana used to be, this is the Parisian version, so just stay on the main roads as they said in "An American Werewolf in London"!You must get to Rue des Rosiers before you are in the center of the actual markets of Saint Ouen, and there is a handy map of the stalls online or on the street once you get there. There are 15 markets in all and some are marked with huge signs, while others have more discreet ones. Some of the antiques cost thousands of euros, so there are beautiful displays where you can peruse the unique furniture and sparkling chandeliers. It can take some hunting for things you want and some haggling to get it at the price you want, and delivery may double the purchase price, so keep that in mind when you are planning to ship it anywhere. This is not a place for amateur shoppers! My favorite piece was a transportable wardrobe which likely served a well to do traveler aboard a ship a few decades ago. In perfect condition and at 2900 Euros (about $3,500), it could serve as an armoire in a Parisian apartment today :)
