Les Puces covers seven hectares, making it the largest antique market in the world. Be prepared for crowds: Les Puces is known to attract between 120,000 and 180,000 visitors each weekend. Some of the vendors here have had their stalls for decades, and offer a dazzling array of vintage and antique items. I have personally found some beautiful vintage jewelry boxes and other small (packable!) household items there over the years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pucesdevanves.typepad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>March\u00e9 aux Puces de la Porte de Vanves<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nMetro: Porte de Vanves<br \/>\nHours: Saturday and Sunday, 7a.m.-1p.m.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of art deco and mid-century aesthetics (or older antiques), you\u2019ll find plenty of tempting things at the Puces de Vanves. Vanves is smaller and tends to be less crowded than Clingancourt, which makes for a more relaxing visit. I\u2019ve purchased my fair share of hand-tooled leather photo albums, books, and vintage teacups here over the years.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulbert-serpette.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">March\u00e9 Serpet et March\u00e9 Paul Bert<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nMetro: Porte de Clingancourt, Garibaldi<br \/>\nHours: Saturday from 9am-6pm, Sunday from 10a.m.-6p.m., Monday from 11a.m.-5p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Specializing in upscale antiques and collectibles, March\u00e9 Serpet and March\u00e9 Paul Bert are located near Les Puces de Saint-Ouen. If you\u2019re looking for antique and vintage furniture and housewares, this is the place to go. The stall owners are very well-respected and knowledgeable. My favorite purchase from the March\u00e9 Paul Bert is a midcentury horse statuette that graces my dresser to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Happy hunting!<\/p>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t forget to \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/onetravel\" target=\"_blank\">LIKE us<\/a>\u2019 on Facebook!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love a good flea market anywhere in the world, but there\u2019s something about these Parisian flea markets that sets my Francophile\/treasure hunter heart aflutter.
