Saint-Ouen flea market

On the outskirts of Paris, the Puces de Saint-Ouen are much more than just a flea market. They are a cultural and historical institution, attracting millions of visitors every year. Founded at the end of the 19th century, the market has become the largest antiques market in the world, covering more than 7 hectares and featuring over 2,000 stalls and stores.

The Puces de Saint-Ouen are divided into several markets, each with its own character and specialty. Whether you’re looking for antique furniture, art deco, vintage clothing or rare objects, you’ll find it all in this vast labyrinth. The Vernaison, Biron, Dauphine and Malassis markets are among the best known, offering an impressive diversity of goods, from the most eccentric to the most precious. Each aisle is an invitation to discovery, where every stall tells a story.

Beyond the wealth of objects on offer, the Puces de Saint-Ouen are also a place to meet and exchange ideas. Dealers, often passionate about their craft, willingly share the history of the objects they sell and offer fascinating anecdotes about their provenance. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with lively conversation and friendly negotiation an integral part of the experience. To stroll the aisles of the Puces is to immerse yourself in a living culture where past and present intertwine.

The markets are open every weekend of the year, from Friday to Monday, at the following times:

Friday 8am to 12pm
Saturday, Sunday & Monday 10am to 6pm
