Paris Flea Market
I’ve only been to the Paris flea market twice but I can honestly say it is my favorite place in the whole world. I’m happy that it is so close and so easy to get to and it is open every weekend. I’m planning on getting to know it really well. Les Puces de Saint-Ouen is the largest flea market in the world and it is amazing as you would imagine it to be. It is made up of a maze of alleyways and a some buildings with everything you can imagine. I’m going to do another post on how to get there because I feel like there isn’t any information online that is very very clear. Here are some pictures from the last few weekends.
Have you been to the Paris Flea Market? Do you have any tips or tricks?

Oh my gosh, that looks wonderful!! If I'm ever in Paris, I'm going straight for the flea markets!!
Ah! I always miss the flea when I've been in Paris. I must make a point to go next time.
I have been to a Paris flea market one time, a different one than this, and I was in HEAVEN! I am SO jealous you get to go all the time! I found a beautiful linen cut out table cloth that I will cherish forever. Happy hunting!
So….were there any treasures you just couldn't live without? I'm sure looking is the best part,it must be terribly difficult to narrow it down.
Lucky you! I would be SO broke if I were anywhere near there. My daughter is going to Paris for the very first time, next week (for a few days)….too bad some of those chairs wouldnt fit in her suitcase!
Hi Jordan, I have to agree, the Paris puces are some of my favorite places ever. I can't think if a better way to spend a morning-or an entire day! There is so, so much that I think it helps to come armed with a mental list of what you're hunting for to help edit. And lots of cash! The Puces de Vanves is wonderful, too. Your photos are gorgeous & have me dying to go on a Paris flea treasure hunt!
oh my goodness, so many things to recover!!
paris + flea market = heaven!
I like the chairs! And do you speak French? If you don't, how hard is it to be an English speaker over there?
oh my, I was at Clignancourt several years ago, best flea market in the world indeed. I dream about it…and Paris, almost daily
.
Best flea market ever!
Oh this is so going on my list of places to visit when I go to Paris in April. Thank you so much for sharing! I would've never known otherwise.
Do YOU have any tips for me?

Oh, wow, so much visual stimulation! Beautiful pictures! I think I'm particularly smitten by the pair of lemon yellow chairs.
Did you walk away with anything?
what wonderful photos. looks like a flea market heaven.
Would you mind posting directions soon? I am leaving for Paris on Thursday for a long weekend trip and we plan to go to the flea market. Some inside scoop on how to get their would be much appreciated!
WOW. Wooooooooooow. Flea market heaven! What did you buy!??
Oh, MY! All those CHAIRS!!!!!!
Look at those fantastic chairs! This looks so great.
That giraffe's head is amazing, I can't believe that was at the flea market, so different than what we would see in the states!
I only wish I had been to the Paris Flea Market. One day!
looks like such a magical place!
ps. i like your scarf!
I'm having so much fun watching your life in Paris. Keep the great photos coming!
So, so wonderful. Definitely on my list of places to visit one day.
this fleamarket looks like heaven. I.Need.To.Get.There! x
Re: Directions. Yes, please! I went last fall and LOVED it, but did have a pretty hard time finding it. Directions for next time would be super helpful…there will be a next time for me (who knows when?) and for now I'm soooo jealous that you can pop over any weekend!
I am love love loving your Paris posts. Please don't stop!!!!!
Please tell me you are getting the Giraffe!! Do, do, do!
Oh my, so may treasures! So very, very envious of your adventure. Makes me feel very dull as I live in England and have only been to France once. You and your adorable family are an inspiration in so many ways.
But seriously, get the Giraffe! x
Be still my beating heart! When I was in Paris the ONE thing (okay, not the only thing but a big thing) I wanted to do was hit up the flea market….it didn't happen. I gotta get back there!!
It's been years since I've been there. I've forgotten how amazing it is–thanks for the wonderful photos!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who would like to encourage Jordan to get the giraffe!
Oh wow, those beads! Exactly what I've been looking for at flea markets here in LA, but haven't been successful at all. Jealous!
Oh man I am crazy jealous right now. The masses of treasures over there are just unreal. I'm sure you're loving it!
Oh my goodness, Jordan, how did you contain yourself? I would have wanted to buy everything in sight!
Looks fabulous!
Btw you look more radiant than I've ever seen you!
Words can not describe my envy.
I am so excited to see what you find to spruce up your apartment.
Someday my dream is to go france and send home a whole container of furniture and goods for myself and for clients.
SO so very jealous.
Glad I get to live vicariously through you!
I love the little yellow chair so much <3
OH MY GOODNESS! What wonderful eye candy. I am green with envy.
i love those santas!!
Your post brought back such wonderful memories. We visited Paris in 2004 from Australia and found my engagement ring in one of the gorgeous antique shops in the market. We couldn't get over what you could buy there. Is an amazing place!
When you post directions, please post hours and days it is open, as well. Thanks. It looks fantastic. Enjoy it all!!!!
those chartreuse-y tufted chairs are spectacular
HOW is Paris sooo chic, without even trying? I just spotted not one, but THREE chairs I would love to own!
Wow, how very cool. Just hard to fit it all in your luggage. How are the prices, reasonable or outrageous?
Le marché Dauphine et le marché Paul Bert sont mes deux balades favorites du dimanche ! Je recommande la petite galerie WAWEART dans le marché Paul Bert !
Wow, a stuffed giraffe?
Thank you for letting me live vicariously through your blog!
Wow! Come I come live with you and shop with you and blog with you?
Wow, how fun! What a great way to furnish your new place. I'm so envious

Wow, I want to go there SO BADLY.
Totally agree with most of the other comments here. Paris+flea market = amazing!
I've yet to visit Paris but I will put this on my list… even if I won't be able to take anything home, it looks like it would be fun to explore.
Oh man, this has got me excited. My husband and I are planning a trip to France and Switzerland for next year, and this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I'm hoping to find. Thank you for sharing! And PS, I'm loving that elephant-print scarf. Very nice.
Ha
sure that giraffe head is legal?!
