A small Paris flea market

Hi

I know lots of Fodorites are heading to Paris, and so am I. I just ran across a note on a flea market while I was packing.

On the last Friday of every month, which will be the day after Thanksgiving for this month, there is a flea market in front of the Bourse.

I once got a very beautiful figurine there. I collect Blessed Mother and female saint images and the one I got at the Bourse flea market is very different from any I've seen.

Hope someone finds this useful. I'm thinking I will go to this, because unless the weather is gorgeous, I'm not going out to Clingnacourt.

I enjoyed the one on Rue President Wilson on a Sunday.
I'm sure it's there throughout the year with antiques and some art.

I probably wasn't clear that I'm not looking for flea markets. I just found an old note I had made on the Bourse market, and thought I would share it. I thought it might be an idea for others, since it is so central. It is a very small market.

There are also true flea markets in various neighborhoods from time to time. Went to one on a Sunday morning last September in the 14th, rue d'Alesia@ rue de la Tombe Issoire. Look for posters for local 'vide grenier' sales.
