Paris: Marché aux Puces de St. Ouen

marche aux pucesNostalgic vestiges and joie de vivre consigned to tarnished ashtrays and wooden suitcases. Dusty alleyways and vintage knick-knacks. Off the beaten path, and what feels like down memory lane, le marché is a one-of-a kind experience, best experienced café au lait in hand on an early Sunday morning. Passages decorated with antiques and vintage, it is hard not to hear a Victrola playing and imagine a young Jane Birkin strolling through, wicker basket adorned. It is a treasure hunt for those who never just skim the surface and it gifts the soul with a taste of authentic Parisian history. Marché aux Puces de St. Ouen, 142 Rue des Rosiers [Photo via]
