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.

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.
