Marché aux Puces VII

Today ends our mini series at the Marché aux Puces. I"ll leave you with one of the most unusual booth that we've ever found, Tombées du Camion (fell off the truck).  Actually, I read about their shop in Montmartre years ago and we tracked it down. Now they have several booths at the flea market as well. If you're looking for out of the ordinary finds, this is your place. It defies description.

Marché aux Puces V

And sometimes I get lucky enough to capture a bit of Paris Rouge at the same time.

Marché aux Puces IV

Surely Ina Garten has shopped here!

Marché aux Puces III - Les chaises et les feuilles

Lovely old furniture is in abundance but there is so much more to shop for. Plan to stay quite a while when you go.

Marché aux Puces II

Like most Parisian shopkeepers, the vendors here keep to themselves, usually reading. If you need assistance or pricing, you greet them with a, "Bonjour Monsieur" first of course, them ask your question. Leave with a friendly, "Merci, bonjournée. 

Marché aux Puces I

Today, we're beginning another mini series. We'll travel to the 18th arrondissement to the well known Paris Flea Market, Marché aux Puces.

This shop full of antique linens and lace items if probably my favorite. We'll come back here tomorrow to look around!
