puces de st. ouen
Today I went to the Puces de St. Ouen which is the weekend antiques/flea market of Paris up near the Porte de Clingancourt metro stop. I think it’s supposed to be one of the largest antiques markets in the world, and man was it huge!!! I walked around for hours and got lost and my mouth was wide open the whole time. Everytime I thought it couldn’t get more amazing, it just would. I can’t even describe it. There was so much to buy, everything was so fancy and beautiful. It really felt like ebay.com come to life. I almost got the urge to become a toy collector. One cool thing was that during lunch time all the vendors got out their little tables and coffee and food and had proper French lunches right in the middle of all the mess. It was great.

Very interesting description and photo. I will mention it on our new blog about flea markets, FleaSpeech.com, and add Ouen to our list of international fleas.
