Paris Flea Market Shopping + Tips

  • Shopping at the Paris Flea Market is the perfect way to spend a weekend. In this video, we explore the most famous flea market in Paris at Porte de Clignancourt called Les Puces de Saint-Ouen and share our tips for how to maximize your visit. 'Les Puces' means 'the fleas' and this market is made up of many smaller markets. It covers 7 hectares and there are between 120,000 and 180,000 visitors every weekend! We recommend going to Marché Vernaison for the most fun browsing and the best chance of finding something you can afford (in some areas the prices are in the 5 figure range...). Here you'll find many stalls with antiques, stationary, clothing, beads, cameras, buttons, furniture, home goods, and many more items to dig through. It's so big that you really need a map. We're sharing our favourite stalls and where to find them. If you're someone who LOVES thrifting and going to markets in general (like me!) then going here will feel like visiting the mothership. Even if you don't usually enjoy this sort of shopping, however, you'll still find it interesting because there are so many unique finds and it's a great chance to interact with locals.

      It's so true, Linda! You could spend a loooong time even just walking down the rows and going into shops without picking up a single thing. Being there is overwhelming but in a good way. So many things caught my eye 💕

    SO happy for you & Marc were able to have so much fun during this video; to find & spend time in Paris at that flea market, checking out the trinkets, antiques, walking around & drinking a little coffee while looking at everything. Whatever that was at the 6:14 point in the video was a little odd from those guys suddenly running past you & Marc. At the end of this: Lol, furniture or a couch.. not so suitcase-friendly, hahaha. Anyway, loved the video of you two in scenic locations. Have a great one !!!

I'm not sure how big a camera you want or what your budget is but I'd say the Canon G7X is a great camera for vlogging. Small, easy to use, flip up screen 👍Puerto Vallarta is wonderful - hope you have a great honeymoon! If you have time, Sayulita is a little town close by that we love too.

    Why can’t our Goodwills and Salvation Army look more like Parisian flea markets here in the U.S.?

      haha I love North American thrift stores too (like A LOT). The Paris flea is just so great to walk around and get lost in ❤️

    Hey guys! You know, I'm not even sure if I've been to a flea market in the US! lol I wonder how it got to be called that anyway? "Flea" market lol

      Hey Scott! If it looks like something you'd like maybe you should check one out sometime :) And that's a good question! I found this article that has some suggestions: mentalfloss.com/article/31795/why-are-flea-markets-called I've also heard that a rich man in Paris visited such a market back in the day and looked down from his horse and thought the people there looked like 'fleas'....so who knows?!
