Paris Flea Markets Open on Sundays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Puces de Vanves\t \t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sunday is a great day for flea market hunters in Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One standout is the Puces de Vanves<\/a>, which occupies the tree-shaded pavement near the Porte de Vanves metro station. Here, one stall specializes in old sewing items\u2014ribbons, thread, even sequins\u2014while another has trays of lovely costume jewelry. However, most vendors are generalists, selling a little bit of anything and everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market opens at 7 a.m., and starts to wind down by midday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip<\/strong>: If you want a bargain, head up to the far end of the market (past the coffee stall and resident piano player). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
