A wild, sprawling city within the city, the Paris Flea Market is like no other.

​

The Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen is the world’s most legendary market for antiques, collectibles, and curiosities. For over a century, it has been a mecca for art and design lovers, craftsmen, dealers, collectors, and curious wanderers alike.

​

This book unveils the magic of this remarkable place, inviting around twenty dealers to guide us on a journey through its maze of alleys and across time itself—from Ancient Rome to Art Deco, from the Middle Ages to modernity, from mid-century and the Renaissance to the Memphis Milano era.

​

A deep dive into the history of decorative arts, future design trends, and the unique life and community of this space, The Paris Flea Market invites readers on a journey of endless connections.​
