I'm sorry but it was a total disappointment.
If, like me, you're looking for good quality antiques or even just cheap vintage...don't bother.
Most shops are sadly closed and the village itself is pretty tired.

This is a great concept that gets rave reviews in many Paris Guides. Unfortunately most of the shops are closed most days. We made two trip to the area while in Paris hoping to work our way through the purportedly unique shops. Neither time did we find more than 1 or 2 open. Sorry, we won't be back.

We love antiquing across the world and while this wasn’t on our go to list of places in Paris, we had a bit extra time and stopped by.
There is nothing here. Zero. Zilch. Empty. The few stores were firmly closed and didn’t look like antique stores at that, or as if they’d been open recently.
There was ONE small store with lots of tiny antique/vintage curiosities that was of interest- EW Objets Anciens.

We used to enjoy the antique stores of the village St. Paul. It is not worth going there now. There are very few stores and of the ones that are there they are usually not open - even when the sign says they should be open. Generally stores are closed Tuesday and or Wednesday. We went Saturday afternoon and we went in 2 stores. As much as we loved it in the past, we won't go back to the area.

We return again and again to Village St. Paul. On our first trip, we walked right past this charming labyrinthine courtyard of resale and brocante shops. When we returned to Paris a year later, it was one of our first destinations. We popped in and out of the shops on a Saturday, returning again a few days later. On subsequent trips, we return again. Why? You never know what you will find here! Within the courtyard and along Rue St. Paul, there are antique shops and galleries that sell vintage bling, kitchen and paper supplies, modern art and what my husband calls the "dross of empire," that is, carved ivory objects, brass items, old grooming supplies (such as ivory combs) and ebony figurines and lacquered boxes - all made in the 19th century for the European trade. At one shop owned by a friendly Scandinavian woman I bought a darling little piece of pottery decorated with leaping hares - a gift for a friend who collects rabbits. This oddly quiet little place (not so little, keep walking through the archways for more shops) is less than two blocks off gritty Rue St. Antoine. Across the street from the entrances to Village St. Paul is the wonderful but cramped Red Wheelbarrow Bookshop, another destination for us.

Hi guys,
It is nice place but I suggest you to lower your expectations not as you imagine I prefer if you are tight on time to see other places first

Another best kept secret in Paris. A world a way from the bustle of Rue Saint-Antoine & Rosiers, its a village within a village, with a network of courtyards cobbled alleys and medieval walls combine to give the effect of a country-style hamlet, right in the centre of the city.
Filling these courtyards and streets are more than 200 antique dealers selling furniture and decorative items tucked away in charming hole-in-the-wall hideaways. Blissfully free of the groan of traffic, these stone streets are beautiful to amble through.
Starting at Rue Saint-Paul, fork off in any direction to find sometimes quiet, sometimes bustle. It is a hop, skip and jump to Ile saint-Louis, the smaller version of Ile de la Cite, another super village-style quarter so photogenic and cute you'd swear they had shipped all its wooden doors from the middle of Paris. This conduit is never over-run with tourists but has postcard-perfect bakeries, fromageries and cafes
There is no easy way to see the Ile Saint- Louis except to trawl the tiny streets and wander the lanes, discovering its wonderful pockets of green oasis's

the village is essentialy a few narrow streets and courtyards with a silent and intimate feeling and unique shops. it's like on outdoor museum really, very close to the marais and place de vosjes which you should include in your day trip.

We stayed on Ile de la Cite, so we were literally a five minute walk from Village St-Paul. There are many antique shops in the labyrinth of small walk ways. There was a Brocante on Sat. and Sunday when we were there, which has some lovely things. Continue through the village to Place de Vosges, a lovely open area surrounded by 19th century apartments. Lots of very good galleries and shops along the arcade. Also Victor Hugos home is in one corner of the building and open every day (except the day we were there). Also the shopping area on the main boulevard has some wonderful patisseries and produce stands.
