Flea Market Experience

What can we expect?

Enter a world of discovery where vintage elegance, history and design meet. At the gateway to Paris lies the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, the largest and most emblematic flea market in the world. A veritable labyrinth of antique dealers, fashion archives and eclectic treasures, bathed in Parisian charm.

Your private experience begins in style with a pick-up in a classic Citroën 2CV, immediately setting the tone for a timeless day. Once there, a passionate guide, an expert in decorative arts and vintage fashion, will accompany you through a tangle of galleries, specialist dealers and designer archives. You'll discover everything from haute couture accessories to Art Deco furniture, from rare vinyl to timeless ceramics. Each stage is personalised to suit your tastes and curiosities.

It's not just a shopping session, it's a journey through history, aesthetics and know-how, designed for collectors, designers and curious minds. You'll learn about the history of the Flea Market, tips on recognising authentic pieces, and the art of Parisian negotiation.

To round off the experience in style, a private return transfer is organised, so that you can return home with your arms full... and your heart full.

Course description

The Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen is much more than just a place to shop: it's a Parisian institution, a veritable open-air museum where art dealers, collectors, stylists, decorators and lovers of the history of objects have come together for over a century.

With over 1,500 stalls spread across several themed markets, Les Puces is a huge labyrinth of Art Deco furniture, vintage fashion, old posters, lighting, rare vinyl, vintage jewellery, curiosities and unusual creations. It's a lively, vibrant place, where every aisle tells a story, every object carries a memory.

This made-to-measure tour offers you a guided immersion into the heart of this unique world, accompanied by a passionate expert in decorative arts, antiques or vintage fashion, depending on your wishes. Far from the usual tourist itineraries, you'll be introduced to specialist dealers, confidential galleries and little-known addresses, carefully selected according to your tastes and interests.

Even before you arrive, the tone is set: you'll be picked up from your Paris accommodation in an authentic Citroën 2CV, an icon of French style. It's an elegant and quirky way to enter the Flea Market. Once you're there, your guide will take you step by step, teaching you how to recognise authentic objects, how to negotiate in the Parisian way, and the market codes that only insiders know.

This experience isn't just for shoppers: it's designed for the curious, the creative, design and fashion professionals, and anyone who wants to explore the real Paris through a mythical, timeless venue.

After the tour, a private vehicle will take you back to your accommodation, arms full of discoveries... and inspiration.
