Reader Question: Paris Flea Market Dates
I love your blog! You have inspired me!! I am traveling to Paris on April 28 for 1 week and am hoping to go to Chatou. Do you know if the flea market is on-going? Perhaps during the weekend only?
Thanks!
Robin

Dearest Robin,
I hate to dash your dreams, but the Foire Nationale de la Brocante et Jambon won’t be going on when you’re in Paris next week! This fair, held in Chatou, is only twice a year and you just missed the March 6 – 15, 2009 dates and the next dates for this fair are not until Sept 25-Oct 4, 2009.
Paris Flea Market Dates
If you’d like to wander off the tourist paths, then consider going to a traveling brocante. I did a wee bit of research for you and on 1-3rd May there will be a traveling brocante at the Brocante Square des Batignolles. BrocaBrac is a great site to discover what flea markets are happening when and where across France. To navigate the site, simply click on the map, check the area of France you will be visiting and a list of flea markets happening within the next month will 
appear, telling you the location of the markets. Click on the market and more information will appear including the number of vendors and the hours of market operation. Be sure to check out this secret diva source before your next trip to Paris… and speaking of Paris, I’m off myself to the city of light this next weekend, but more on that later!
Until then… à bientôt et bon voyage!

Dear Diva,
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, it’s truly wonderful.
May I ask you a question related to shopping in Paris? What is the best way to send/ship your goods(some of which could be quite large)back home? Is there a specific place from which this is done? Web site?
I live in Australia…
I would be forever grateful if you could help me with this!
Have a terrific day and thank you in advance!
Alex 🙂
I’ve just read , you are going to meet Claudia at hotel Costes. Hope you will have a good time together .Think about me …and don’t forget to share the treasures you will find at the brocante

Really, after a short while,l they start loosing their hairs and they are everywhere and impossible to get off!!!

Thanks Nikon! I loved your Hemingway’s Paris blog!!
Great blog! Thanks so much for your visit!
Polly!
Thanks so much for the compliment on the photo!! I must say the day that photo was taken in front of the Parisian boutique in Amsterdam’s 9 Streets district, I had been rained on, twice, and had led a meeting earlier in the day! I was exhausted, but when some friends and I and happened upon the shop we knew it was too good to be true!!
Phivos, Merci bien!
A tout a l’heure,
The Diva
Toma, à bientôt et bon voyage! Tres bien madamme. Merci beaucoup!
Thanks for the tip, dear Diva, I’m off to Paris soon and I’ll check out the brocante at Port Clignancourt!
And this is a lovely photo of you! Have a good weekend – Polly x
