Paris Saint-Ouen Flea Market Tour

Enjoy a day at the flea market in the City of Light. On this 2-hour tour, your local guide will meet you at the Saint-Ouen market, the largest in Paris, to guide you through the stalls, introduce you to the stallholders and tell you interesting facts about its history. Whether you come on your own or with your family or friends, this is a classic weekend fun plan where you'll not only be able to buy your favourite items, but also enjoy live music and sample the local food in one of the restaurants.

In a small group of maximum 10 people, you will all be close to the guide as he leads you through the market stalls, which is made up of 13 markets and 5 shopping streets. You will find more than 2000 stalls full of 19th century antiques such as vintage clothes, art or jewellery, but also mid-20th century objects such as furniture, decoration, records, books, magazines... Bargaining is a must in any flea market, and your guide will help you to get some real bargains.

Every big city has its big market, and you can't leave Paris without visiting this one. The Marché aux Puces or Saint-Ouen Flea Market is the largest antiques market in the world. Contrary to what you might expect, it is located in the north of the city, beyond Montmartre, and not in the centre: this is because in the 19th century, hustlers and thieves used to sell their wares here. More and more vendors and curious onlookers came here, until the Marché aux Puces was officially recognised in 1885. Little by little, the traders acquired small premises, giving rise to the market you can visit today. Whether you're an antiques lover or just want to enjoy a typical Parisian weekend, you'll love the Saint-Ouen market.
