Vanves Flea Market
Small is beautiful (when it comes to flea markets)

GO HERE: when you’re tired of the touristy, overpriced antiques Disney that is the more famous Clignancourt market.
GET THE: “smalls,” as decorators call them: Packable things like old posters, silverware, vases, and more. There’s not much furniture anyway.
THE VIBE IS: ideal for those who like to dig for dusty bargains in cardboard boxes and haggle with cranky vendors. It’s surprisingly fun!
PRACTICAL STUFF: Open Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. sharp year-round. Vendors along the main street, Avenue Marc Sangnier, start packing up around 1:40, so hit that first.
