Make sure you dodge the first bit with all the cheap clothing. the good stuff is in the side streets where there are several markets mostly selling furniture. My partner had a brush with a pickpocket at the Metro station so definitely beware! They hang aroudn the Metro gates pretending to forget their ticket but try and pick your pocket... More

Had done a lot of research prior to going to Paris, including what to bring back to Africa. Despite the research knowledge, I was very very pleasantly surprised with the markets in St Ouen, just a block north of the Paris Periphery highway. Watch-out: for some of the dodge people walking around you in the area, some of them definitely... More

This is a place to visit on a dry day when you can do a lot of walking outside. Take your time in places / shops that intrest you and walk on - as there is much much more to cover. It's one of these places with somethng for everyone. Seems like today it's more oriented at designers, collectores and... More

First off, tips: - Metro to: Porte de Clignancourt - Above ground, pretend you are inside the McDonalds, facing straight out their front door. The "market" is at most a ten minute walk STRAIGHT in that direction. You might see a sign that says "Les Puces" with an arrow. That is the place you want to go. Go STRAIGHT down... More

The many markets here are enough to keep you amused all day and still leaving you wanting to go back! The wares on sale are so many and varied I defy you not to be able to track down what ever you are looking for, whether it be a particular piece of furniture or a piece that has gone missing... More

My 85 year old Mother and I are very pleased that we went to see the market. We only saw one of the markets within the main market as it is so large but enjoyed just looking and exploring the little alleys. It would be easy to get lost there but such fun! If you are staying near the Gare... More

Let me start in a positive way: You don't have to pay an entrancefee to visit "Les Puces de Saint-Ouen" but; You would expect to visit a large flea-market where you can scuffle an search for hours in stands offering a blend of junk, kitsch and antiques. In reality "Les Puces" consists of a concatenation of antique and bric and... More

Too much negative reviews for such wonderful place. Why? I haven't read anything about the place before I went there, it was just a friends suggestion after I told I love such places. And I do not regret seeing it and would definitely go back there whenever my roads will bring me to Paris. Yes, I agree, most of the... More

Lot of bad reviews of this market, but I had a really fun time. A real diverse market from rusty metal junk to old photos to art deco and modern furniture. I was just looking for something small and unusual to bring home, found some things I liked and was able to bargain a bit in my limited French. As... More
