Paris Flea Markets

If you love flea markets then you need to experience one in France. Our favorite one in Paris is the Marché aux Puces de Clignancourt. A sprawling market unlike anything you’ve experienced in the US. 14 different marchés that have something for everyone and in every budget.

You can wander for days and still not see everything, so Paris Travel Groupe has created a special private market tour to streamline the experience and ensure a memorable time with a local insider by maximizing your time by zeroing in on exactly what you’re looking for, help with negotiation, French language help, and shipping introductions if you need to ship those larger items home.

Versailles – So much more than the Château

‘

Versailles is so much more than the Château.

The city is full of history with the regions’ largest food markets and a

wonderful antique market opened on weekends.

The Musée Lambinet is another small museum that is missed by most visitor to Versailles,

but definitely worth a visit.

On certain days you can take tea on the front veranda!

Paris Antiques – Shopping in Passy

Paris antiques market

So much to see and do in the markets and brocantes of Paris. Here’s a peek in a lovely little antique boutique in the Passy area (16th arrondissement of Paris).

The delicate colors of a miniature, the golden glow of the gilt, the alabaster lady. Each piece is unique in its own way but put it all together in one place and it is a treat to all five senses!!
