I think it's a beautiful walk if you have more than a week of accommodation in Paris, otherwise leave it for next time Let's clarify that it is not what we call Flea Market in Argentina. Antiques that the French State certifies as such prevail (there are no Chinese imitations) If you are going to look for second-hand vintage clothing or footwear, don't go

It's interesting but too loud. The food stands are shielded, we are tight as sardines and difficult to be heard. Fortunately, some booths have introduced a ticket system, which is clever to avoid conflicts between customers. Sellers are generally quite commercial, they know how to capture your attention by their swagger. The products are fresh especially meat (do not drag to preserve the cold chain) and juicy and sweet fruits but often too mature. Prices are attractive and can be paid by credit card.

Walk from metro to market is short. You’ll wander through the cluttered pre-market and find yourself in an area full of affordable antiques, only to end up in a warehouse of priceless, but great designer studios. Here and there a little restaurant or cafe. Great place for a morning or afternoon stroll.

A treat to prick. We really find everything in the fleas of Saint Ouen. Vintage, antique, antique, furniture and artefacts of all origins, collector’s clothing, books, records and a whole bunch of sometimes surprising objects. Outside the different markets, you should not hesitate to also walk the streets. The only drawback: the place is very well known, professional antique dealers are numerous and therefore the prices are not always very interesting. But this is probably the best place in France to find the rarity you are looking for.
