2.Les Puces de Saint Ouen Flea Market Private Tour in Paris

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $155Best value

Explore Paris’s Saint-Ouen flea market with a private guide, metro help, bargaining tips, and three hours among antiques, art, and vintage finds.

“We had a fabulous experience touring the flea markets with James. He picked us up at our accommodation and helped us navigate the metro to the markets. He knew the markets so well, often already having a personal connection with the vendors! We got beautiful artwork, pins, and glass wear, and James negotiated the price down for everything we bought. We recommend you bring cash with you to the markets, as James was able to get us discounts if paying in cash. We cannot recommend this tour, and James specifically, highly enough. We can’t wait to tour with James again the next time we go to Paris!”
