With over two thousand stalls, Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, as this flea market is officially called, is the biggest antique market in the world. The various markets all have their own particular specialities and unique character. Some sell predominantly cheap junk, but a large section also offers genuine, valuable antiques. Apart from the numerous stalls you'll also find various bistros in this area. The flea market is so extensive that it's worth investing in 'Le Plan Guide du Marche aux Puces de Paris Saint-Ouen'. It's available from Parisian Tourist Offices and French bookshops. This booklet gives an overview of all the stalls and passageways, and makes shopping so much easier.
