Shopping at the Les Puces De Saint-Ouen flea market in Paris
Spend the whole day traversing between the the acres of vendors, under covered markets and on shopping streets, selling antiques, vintage and affordable second hand goods.
Different sub-markets specialize in different treasures:
Marche Vernaison: Features winding lanes full of eclectic small items, vintage toys, glassware and fashion accessories.
Marche Dauphine: A covered two-story building known for vintage books, records and pop culture memorabilia.
Marche Paul Bert Serpette: The trendy high-end heart of the market. This is where designers go for mid-century modern furniture, art, and statement mirrors.
Don’t pass up all the eclectic jewelry. Sometime cash bargains make it affordable. High end dealers accept credit cards, smaller stalls selling vintage clothes and trinkets often prefer cash. Bring some Euros with you to avoid searching for a scarce ATM.
Visit on Saturday or Sunday mornings for the best experience. While the market is technically open on Mondays, many dealers remain closed or open only by appointment.
