Paris – Bastille Brocante
Last month I wrote giving dates and details for Paris’ popular Antiquites Brocante at the Place de Bastille… I’d like to follow up on that blog with a few more details courtesy Tara Bradford, author of the popular blog Paris Parfait:
Tara writes:
“The popular brocante along both sides of the Canal St. Martin will begin on Thursday, May 7 and continue daily through May 17. Tickets at eight euros each may be purchased at the door. Take the Paris Metro to Bastille or Quai de la Rapée, via lines 1, 5 and 8. Or take bus lines 20, 29, 65, 87 or 91. Paid parking is available at Opéra Bastille or Sogéparc, Boulevard de la Bastille.”
Check out these sensational “Paris Parfait” photos Tara shot at the Bastille Brocante last year:

PS> I'm going to miss this years sale… if you go to the sale… snap a few pics and email me your thoughts! Would love to get a readers perspective!
Thanks for the nod, Toma. Wish you could be at Bastille – perhaps at the November one? Next time you’re in Paris, let’s try to get together, even if only for a quick tea.
Brit Gal,
I do indeed know what you're talking about! You know what you & I should do… we should meet up in OKC on my next visit and do "Western Avenue"! Have you hit the Antique Shops and Vintage stores there???
Best Wishes,
The Antiques Diva (TM)
Phivos,
You’re such a charmer! Merci!
Paris Parfait,
Great minds think alike! You know I was just in Paris last weekend and I thought of contacting you to see if we could meet up – but time was too tight! That said, I will definitely look you up before my next visit to schedule a coffee date – forget coffee, lets go for a coupe de champagne!

What a great idea for Mothers Day or Birthday (hint hint to The Car Guy – maybe one day but for now only in my dreams !) Beautiful Pics Paris! Love the ideas all the pics give me.
Brit Gal and Diva don’t forget the 23rd St. Antique Mall (one of our favs) and the shops along May Ave. in OkCity.
This looks like yet another fabulous reason to visit Paris in May! I just missed it last time I was there. Next time I’ll plan for it. Thanks Toma!

Catherine a la A Thousand Clapping Hands – Next time you’ll be in Paris let me know and I’ll line you up with what’s on! I can always find something for you to do!!!
Oh guess what, I’m catchin a Eurostar to Paris on Friday 8th May!!! I’ll definitely do my best to make it to Place de Batille, it sounds intriguing.
Polly,
Have a fantastic trip!!! If you make it to the Bastille Brocante snap some pics! I’d love for you to do a Guest blog on your experiences/purchases!!!
Bon Voyage!
