Saturdays & Sundays (and some Fridays)
Le Marché aux Puces de Paris Saint-Ouen is the world’s largest flea market with more than 3000 antiques and vintage vendors and 12 permanent markets each with a unique personality. It’s virtually impossible to scale in a single day unless you have a guide to take you direct to the part of the market that has what you are looking for.
On this one-on-one fully customized Antiques Buying Tour of the Paris Flea Market, we translate, negotiate, and liaise buyers with international shippers.
WHY SHOP WITH THE ANTIQUES DIVA & CO?
At The Antiques Diva & Co – we have buying power. At any given moment we have 7 containers at sea. This means that when you buy antiques with our professional trade service for antique dealers, you get the best prices in the Paris Flea Market! This is not a tour for casual shoppers – tourists – but for serious antiques dealers, buyers, & collectors. Vendors know when they see our clients – that they mean business.
Jean-Cyrille Boutmy, owner of Marche Paul-Bert Serpette, described our Paris Flea Market Antiques Buying Tour by saying, “The Antiques Diva Guides are Ambassadors making a bridge between the American antiques trade and the French Flea Market vendors. You are a liaison – connecting buyers and sellers of antiques.”
Whether you are filling a container to sell in your antiques store, sourcing for interior design projects, or merely buying for your own home – we offer our expert opinions to help you buy the exact antiques you are looking for at the price you want to pay.
