The Paris flea market

In the fifties and sixties, the Paris flea market had a reputation as a place where you could buy nice and old furniture at very low prices. This is not the case anymore, but it is still a very interesting place to visit. The choice is large and the prices are moderate to high.

The Paris flea market is located on the edge of Paris in a popular and mostly ethnic neighbourhood. It are open from 10am to 7pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. It can best be reached by the metro (station Garibaldi on line 13).  You can find more information on the Paris flea market website.
