  1. Paris’ St-Ouen flea market, known as Marché aux Puces St-Ouen or Les Puces de St-Ouen, is one of the largest flea markets in the world. Located in the 18th arrondissement, it covers an area of 15 acres (6 hectares)! On this 3-hour small-group walking tour with an expert local guide, discover some of the thousands of small shops and vendors selling everything from paintings, decorative furniture and antique textiles to vintage clothing, jewelry and bags. As you explore, your knowledgeable guide will explain the history of the market, which dates back to 1885, while showing you many of the secret corners of the vibrant market. While searching for hidden gems, your guide will be on hand to help you negotiate prices and organize packing and shipping, so you can land great deals and take your items safely back home with you. Once you’ve had your shopping fill, take a break at the colorful cabaret café Chez Louisette.

About Paris

Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
