Flea Market at Vanves?
 
Anyone know about this flea market? Like what days it's there and time? Or are there any more convenient?<BR><BR>Thanks....Sue

It's there Saturday and Sunday. Not sure what time it starts - but it finishes at about 2 on Saturday. My favorite flea...

It opens very early -- about 7 am, and goes all day until later afternoon, although some vendors may leave earlier or the best stuff may be gone. I think it is the most convenient to central Paris of the regular flea markets. <BR><BR>There is one at Montreuil, also (20th arr. ave de la Porte de Montreuil), which is all day Sat-Mon and is probably about the same distance (it's somewhat past Pere Lachaise cemetery). I haven't been there but I've read it has a lot of old clothes.

Thanks for the help! Exactly where is it located?? Would going that far be covered on the Paris Visite pass? <BR><BR>Interesting web site, Kate!

Take the Metro to Porte de Vanves and follow the crowds.

Go as early as possible..it will be all set up by 7 AM..take a flashlight!<BR><BR>I have never come away from Vanves without some treasure!! More than I can say for St Ouen. And it's a managable size

It's on the southern edge of the city, the metro line 13 goes south from Montparnasse. Yes, it would be included on a Paris Visite pass.

Christina, JOdy and francesca, Thanks! I wanted to go to the flea market last time I was there and didn't get to. This time I hope to make it and I should be able to find it with your directions.<BR><BR>Thanks again!!
