Highlights
  • Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen - Vintage lover? Passionate for art and antiquities? The Parisian flea market is the place for you. Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen is a unique place of not one or two, but fifteen flea markets. It is a charming place to walk around with its particular atmosphere, and it’s a paradise for those who love digging in flea markets. We will visit a few of the markets and we’ll stop by a local café for a drink and short rest. Each market is slightly different. One offers a selection of antique furniture and decorative art, another has vintage clothes and jewelry, a third shows 20th-century design pieces—but I won’t give up all of the secrets now. Come with me to visit this unmatchable place and discover its treasures for yourself.

Flea markets of Paris with Daria - If you love a market, you're going to love the biggest flea market in Paris! Or as Daria explains it, 12 markets all grouped together. Daria gives a great orientation to a few of the best of the 12, titrating her tour to suit your interests. It was great to get a feel for the markets with a local, and after the tour I was able to go straight back to where I wanted to like an expert, and make the most of my time there. Lots of treasures to find!

Spectacular Tour and Guide - Esceptional experience with Daria. She was a superb guide for our entire family. She was so knowledgeable and it was just a pleasure to spend time with her and learn about the Paris flea market. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who has always wanted to go to the flea market, but didn't know how to navigate. We would have been lost without her guidance and she even helped us to negotiate on some very cool purchases for our home. We will definitely be doing this tour again on our next trip. Thank you Daria!

Extensive knowledge of all the markets with historical background! - Dari was an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of the market’s history. Because she is an art historian and collectibles dealer, she was able to guide us to the dealers and stalls we would be most interested in. She was also accommodating when we were late and not at the correct meeting point. You will enjoy your tour with her!

Best way to see the world’s largest antique and 2nd hand market - I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Daria. She is an art professional and she is generous with her knowledge. Her knowledge of the market enabled me to see my highlights and not get bogged down with the myriad of stalls and storefronts. She began by giving an overview and asking me my specific interests. I could not have enjoyed my visit as much without her friendly and expert guidance.

Excellent Guide to Navigate the Marché aux Puces - Whether or not you are interested in flea markets (which I am), this tour is one of the best Paris experiences. Beyond the varied history of the Marché aux Puces, there’s the opportunity to experience a unique Parisian institution and see the merchants’ wares. Though I learned about les Marché aux Puces decades ago right before my first of nearly a dozen trips to Paris, this was the first time I actually visited it. Thanks to Daria, it exceeded expectations. Because the market is large and sprawling, you want a guide and Daria is an exceptional one. She communicated beforehand to ensure that the tour would go smoothly. She confirmed the meeting point details and recommended I bring an umbrella because much of the market is outdoors and rain was forecasted. We easily connected at the meeting point and proceeded as she extracted details of what most interested me so that she could tailor her general agenda to best suit me. Daria is friendly, likeable, articulate and knowledgeable in decorative arts and antiques. Just learning the characteristics of Louis XV versus Louis XVI furniture alone make the tour worthwhile.
