From trendy flea markets to exclusive antique shops, along with a little vintage fashion. Immerse yourself in this city’s vintage culture. We left Boston on Air France for Paris, France, at 10 PM on a Tuesday in late September. My girlfriend, Lisa, and I were joining Sandra Sigman and Félicie Jungels of Les Fleurs’ curated Parisian antiquing shopping tour , which consisted of five days of antiquing in Paris: We would be staying at the Hôtel Bel Ami in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. We each packed a carry-on bag and placed it inside a large empty suitcase along with an empty duffle bag. This would give us the extra room needed to bring back all of our smaller vintage treasures. We arrived at 11:00 a.m. on a Wednesday, Paris time. Unfortunately, I didn’t sleep much on the way over, and we were genuinely exhausted upon our arrival, but staying up until bedtime on Paris time was our goal to help acclimate to the six-hour time difference. We arrived at our hotel, Hotel Bel-Ami , took showers, and went for long walks around Paris, visiting shops and cafes until bedtime. It was the most strenuous day, but it was all worth it! Our antiquing in Paris tour didn’t begin until Friday morning, so we also had Thursday to help us adjust to the six-hour time difference. We walked and walked all over Paris, visiting: When in France… After a full day exploring Paris, we enjoyed a good night’s sleep and were up early to start our first day of shopping at the Paris antique stores. We gathered in the early morning at Sandra of Les Fleurs’ Paris apartment and met the other nine gals joining us on our antiquing in Paris adventures. Can you believe that four of the women were from York, Ogunquit, and Portland, Maine? That was six of us from Maine! The others were from California, New Hampshire, New York, and Texas. A friend or a sister accompanied several, and others traveled solo. There was one antique dealer and one small shop owner, and the rest were shopping for new homes, themselves or family and friends. After meeting all the gals, we were informed of our paperwork responsibilities when purchasing antique furniture going back to the U.S. For our convenience, porters and a shipping container would be provided for all antiques that would not fit into our suitcases. This required invoices, tagging, photos, and stickers. Once we completed one purchase, it was a simple process; it just took a little bit of patience for us and the vendors. Someone was always immediately available to help walk us through the process, too. Every morning, we would gather in front of the Hôtel Bel Ami, where Sandra and Felicie would meet us and we would all load into two chauffered vans that drove us to the day’s venue. The driver’s would also collect our bags as we shopped, for even more convenience. It was a dream! The most frequent question I received about this antiquing in Paris tour was how do you get everything back home? Les Fleurs’ provides a large shipping container for this antiquing in Paris tour. You can purchase anything you like and ship it back via the container. There is an additional cost, which can be as high as the cost of the antique, depending on how much space it takes up in the container. Many purchased numerous cabinets, large gardening pots, benches, chairs, decorative arts, etc. The container can take up to five months to arrive in Boston. Then, you will pick up your French antiques at Les Fleurs’ in Andover, Massachusetts, or they can have your items shipped to you from their location, which many will need to do. All smaller Paris antiques will be packed into your suitcases. You should bring a large empty suitcase and a duffle bag. If you fly business class, you can check up to three bags or two if you fly economy. A few of the gals purchased 30 Euro suitcases while in Paris to fill and bring home with them. If you are traveling with a companion, that is up to six checked suitcases! Not to mention two carry-ons each. So it is all very doable. * Sandra and Felicie helped us all every step of the way with all their tips and tricks. Here, I used an antique tin that I purchased at a street fair to hold many of my smaller items, then placed it into my empty suitcase. The antique dealers are happy to wrap and package the items when you purchase them, too. Now, we were ready for all of the antiquing in Paris before us! Let’s go! The oldest and largest antique market in France, with an impressionist atmosphere, is held twice a year, a Brocante and Ham Fair in Chatou. It is not to be missed! The first antique market we visited was la Foire de Chatou, a vintage market similar to those I love shopping back in New England, like Vintage Market Days Vermont . There were roughly 90 French antique vendors ranging from affordable to high-end, great for bargain hunters, too. All the vendors were housed in tents to shelter them from the inclement weather, as most are open-air markets antiquing in Paris. The festive vibe of of the French antique markets is very different though from that of New England. It was more socially festive, with rows and rows of pop-up restaurants and champagne stations. No food trucks at the French antique markets! We were also very fortunate to have visited on a Friday, sparing us from the large crowds. I found it interesting that each of us had a unique perspective on this market and many others to come. Some saw this market as very expensive, where I found affordable prices. I found this stack of five antique soup tureens for 100 Euros, not each like back in New England. And they became my first French antique purchase. I loved getting to know the other gals on our antiquing in Paris tour. We all learned so much from one another. For instance, nobody had ever thought of stacking antique soup tureens like these. In fact, some didn’t even know what I was referencing when I mentioned I bought a stack of tureens. Introducing each other to new antique collections and trending ideas from various parts of the country was insightful and a large part of why this tour was so interesting and enjoyable. While antiquing in Paris, there were many passing rain showers, so, during a mini rain storm that rolled in, we enjoyed and partook in the French way of antiquing by taking a break with a glass of champagne and a long French lunch. It was the best day ever! On Saturday, we visited the Porte de Vanves, a weekend street fair, where we strolled and shopped until lunchtime, about 3 hours. There were rows of street vendors selling wares ranging from vintage clothing to rare books. As far as street markets go, I found the pricing a bit on the high side. However, many of the other gals found Porte de Vanves to be their favorite antiquing spot of the week. See what I mean about the differences in experiences? I still thoroughly enjoyed it, though! Wondering what I will do with antique bloomers and vintage toothbrushes? I’ll be sharing how I decorate with all my French antique finds very soon here on the blog! One antique dealer was selling a gorgeous set of antique French Gien dinnerware with vintage ivory bone flatware, which I pined over. However, I passed at 39 euros a plate, and there didn’t seem to be much room for negotiation, especially since I had a little insight into our last shopping destination, which promised much better dinnerware pricing.

This Sunday, we visited the Saint-Ouen Flea Market , an open-air flea market and is the largest antiques and second-hand market in the world and the fourth most visited attraction in France. Wow, Wow, Wow! There are three Marché aux Puces (flea markets) inside the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, where you can peruse the different markets for antiques, vintage clothing, and almost anything else you can think of that is unique and hard to find. First, we browsed through the Marché Paul Bert Serpette. In Paris, it is considered one of the most prestigious flea markets in the world. It is located in the heart of the famous Saint-Ouen Flea Market. It’s a haven for antique lovers, offering an incredible range of high-end vintage furniture, rare art, and unique decorative pieces. The market’s charming maze of stalls brims with Parisian history, making it a must-visit for serious collectors and casual shoppers alike. That means, bargain shoppers, there is plenty for you here, too! We spent the entire morning inside this one flea market and enjoyed another customary long French-style lunch, including another delicious dessert at the onsite Le Bistrot Paul Bert . Here is where I found these timeless treasures: After lunch, we strolled over to the Marché Dauphine, one of Saint-Ouen’s largest markets. It is a vibrant blend of vintage charm and eclectic finds. Known for its expansive indoor space, it offers a diverse selection of antiques, from classic furniture to rare books and vintage fashion. With its lively atmosphere and array of unique treasures, Marché Dauphine is a favorite among antique enthusiasts and curious shoppers alike. Some of the most exciting features in this market include the orange 1970s spaceship in the central square, the unusual second-level flooring, a sort of wooden cobble-block affair, and the colorful entrance mural. Lastly, just across the road is the Marché Biron, one of the upscale flea markets within the Saint-Ouen complex in Paris, known for its luxurious selection of high-end antiques and fine art. Specializing in exquisite furniture, decorative objects, and classical art pieces, it caters to serious collectors and those seeking timeless, museum-quality items. The elegant atmosphere and meticulously curated stalls make it a must-visit for anyone looking for rare and prestigious finds. Monday was our last day of scheduled antique shopping in Paris, and it promised to be the most rewarding. We arrived in Rungis at a private dealer’s warehouse and enjoyed a buffet luncheon hosted by the antique dealer. This was my favorite antiquing experience of the entire trip. The prices were fantastic, and the selection—well, simply amazing! This antique dealer’s warehouse is frequented by filmmakers, photographers, hotels, dealers, and all others who seek to recreate antique and vintage interior home decor. From average homes to the studios of Paris, this antique shop had it all. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public. Because the 1900s French Alps ski sled and the antique beverage cart would not fit into my suitcase, they were ticketed to go onto the container along with the dishes and small crystal ice buckets. I didn’t want any of those things to get broken in transit. If you like the French Alps sled I found, you may also enjoy our Vintage Ski Lodge Decorations Blog Series . Have you ever had lunch in an antique store? The owner of this private antique warehouse hosted us for lunch and set two tables so beautifully that one of the gals on our trip bought almost the entire table setting! Each French antique dinner plate was unique and paired with intricately designed silverware, including a French knife rest. Since these were new to me, I bought a set for myself. To learn more, visit this Knife Rest French Table Silver and Crystal Ideas post. During our visit, each matching glass candle burned , and the water glasses were a mix-and-match. Little silver sherbert bowls displayed fall hydrangea bouquets with scattered acorns—simple yet exquisite.
