Antique Shopping in Paris Flea Markets! (Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen)

[@khantuta]

Katy, you look so happy, looking for treasure in Paris! Loved your red lipstick and French accent! Can't wait to see your next video.

[@LaughCryDIY]

I’m very excited to show you the haul!

[@michaelbeck4236]

Katy! This was such a fun video and what a cool experience. 🫶🏻 Thanks for taking us along with you on this dive into the Parisian antique treasure troves. Looking forward to the haul!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Can’t wait to show ya, my dear. 🥖

[@christinaapplegate5281]

Happy that you had so much fun. So many fantastic collectables in Paris. You really get a sense of what/where American designers got some of their inspiration to make their own great designs. And fun to see that indeed they are collecting 40’s 50’s era designs which got its start in America. A whole world of collecting. Lots of good brass came from India and China. That would be another fun trip. Hope you found something for Babs & safe travels ❤

[@LaughCryDIY]

Totally. So much inspiration everywhere. It was so fun.

[@bunnycartoon]

I hope when you came home, you said something like "OUI OUI BAGGETTE!" to your cat in the most obnoxious accent possible 😆 Seriously tho, what a cool video!! Thrifting while traveling is one of my favorite things, and this is amazing. Thanks for taking us along!

[@LaughCryDIY]

You know I did! I actually found a little Baguette pen, which is now the funniest thing I own.

[@ThisIsJessPaul]

I 100% loved your dedication to the French look and accent. C'était une aventure tellement amusante!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Did my best French cosplay 😂

[@MusicDoc-oe5sw]

Once again, you take us on the best field trips!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Thanks for coming with me.

So much to see THANK YOU‼️😁👏🏼💜

[@LaughCryDIY]

Thanks for coming along with me.

🧡🧡🧡 🐈 🧡🧡🧡 Come on red lips 👄 💄 I love it. I needed a phone call because BAYBAY I wanted ALL of those gold mirrors 🙌🏾 #BaguetteAuntieCrew

[@LaughCryDIY]

It was so amazing.

[@hnek]

Also that art nouveau fireplace for me, thanks.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Gotchu. 😉

[@katiestockley5984]

Amazing treasures uncovered Katy, poor Chelsea hope she still had fun. Thanks for the tour and cant wait for next week to see what you got

[@LaughCryDIY]

Chelsea was a trooper on crutches, and we made the most of it as we could at least.

[@christinaapplegate5281]

The pitfalls of world travel and naive American’s. We think the whole world is as safe as home. They have pic-pocketing down to an art form in Europe. I try to research everyplace I or loved ones intend to travel to someday. C’est la vie. And hopefully a new appreciation of home. ❤

[@SandraPype-nb3ns]

Loved this video!! You are a riot!! And you look wonderful too!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Doing my best French impression 💄

[@fromhumblebeginnings7798]

Thank you for sharing Paris! Magnifique!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Thanks for coming along with me

[@hnek]

Price is something that is so discouraging. I wonder if one can still find spots that are not so spendy. Probably not in the official antique market,but maybe down some rue or another. It looks like fun though! And I hope your friend heals up quick, cobblestones are a nightmare!

[@LaughCryDIY]

I definitely wish I had more time to pick through the outdoor stalls, which house the more affordable treasures I’m sure. If I lived in Paris, I’d be there every weekend 😂

[@girlathebeach]

Katy! In Paris-oh lawdy! This helped make my day. I'm so happy that you went to Paris and shopped in those antique shops! That is high on my list and you've given me inspiration to do it this year! I was actually virtually shopping when you were walking around.I love art deco and when you mentioned pink coupe glasses that almost sent me over the edge. The whole vid almost sent me over the edge! You are so funny too-wax stamp to send a ransom note or love letter.

[@LaughCryDIY]

The markets were definitely a bucket list item. And if you can swing it, I would so encourage you to do it! I’m sad to say I did not find the pink coupe glasses of my dreams. But that just mean the hunt continues…

[@tngirlz4622]

Magnifique! Your shopping expeditions AND your look - that red lip works so well with your hair! I hope you have/had a spectacularly fabulous time in Paris, I’m so sorry about your friend’s ankle and your sacrifice to the streets of Paris, and the unfortunate unaffordability of many of the beautiful things at the Marché aux Puces - glad you found that (exceptionellement chaud) guy’s little shop. Can’t wait for your vid next week!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Very excited to show you the haul. You know, travel is always an adventure. Never know what you’re gonna get, whether it’s an antique treasure or 7 hours in a French ER!

[@valeriecarr6754]

Katy, hope you had/have a phenomenal time antiqing in the City of Light! Happy for you, and btw, you look gorgeous!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Merci! Visiting those shops was definitely a bucket list for an antique girl, so I’m very happy I was able to make it out.

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

Exquisitely overstimulating treasures! I'm already imagining how one could Diy that planter. Can't wait to see what you brought home and any inspiration you might pursue recreating some of those unique treasures.😻

[@LaughCryDIY]

You’re so on my wavelength. I looked up the planter and discovered that the top pillow actually comes off for secret storage inside!!!!! I have been thinking about the smartest way to recreate.

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

@@LaughCryDIY have you seen how they dip silk flowers in plaster of Paris? Maybe you could upholster a hinged box with tassels and use plaster, paint and high gloss clear coat to get a similar effect?

[@LaughCryDIY]

Ooh, that’s such an interesting idea. 🤔

[@alisonhicks9298]

Oh please tell me you found an amazing lighter that you could afford! Or better yet....matchbooks😁 So many gorgeous things..I would spend days there. Would love to see the edited stuff too..13 minutes just isn't enough..it's PARIS!!!💋

[@LaughCryDIY]

Can’t wait to show you the haul 😉. You could totally get lost for hours. If I lived in Paris, I’d be there every damn weekend.

[@melaniepeters4744]

Wow that was amazing! Can't wait to see what you bought. I have always wanted to go to Paris.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Can’t wait to show off the haul. Fun little treasures that are way better than any souvenir Eiffel Tower 🙏

[@CHERYLee-s6r]

I hope your having an amazing trip ❤

[@LaughCryDIY]

Thank you. I’m so excited to share the haul next week!

[@L0U1SE]

Seriously amazing. There is weeks and weeks of thrifting there!

[@LaughCryDIY]

I would spend every weekend there if I lived there

[@jackieclark817]

Katy looking fabulous in eyeliner and red lipstick 💄😍 in Paris. Thanks for this tour. Well done!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Glad I was able to take yall along with me

[@setodd2098]

Came wait for next week's video! That antique mall looks amazing.

[@LaughCryDIY]

I’m so excited to show you.

[@ilovecatsnteanbooks3971]

Omg, that market is amazing, I’d be dangerous there! You can so rock a red lip too. Have fun, can’t wait to see what you bought ❤

[@LaughCryDIY]

It is SO dangerous. TBH, the price points are crazy unless you’re in the more flea market/swap meet area where you have to dig. Would have loved to do that, but only had so much time.

[@maliaatmusictheoryshop]

Wow! Cannot wait to see the haul! This was so much fun

[@LaughCryDIY]

I’m so excited to show you. Truly got one of the coolest things I now own.

[@katiesullivan8566]

Bon jour, Katy! So very happy to see you in Paris. My best friend lives in France and I just visited her in September. You look like a natural roaming those shops. Can't wait to see what you bought.

[@LaughCryDIY]

How lucky! If I lived in Paris, I would be spending all my weekends there. I still feel like I only saw maybe 30%.

[@rachaelnugent]

yay this is fab! And your French accent is magnifique!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

💁‍♀️ Wish my French were better, but I’m glad I got to go explore. It was very fun.

[@carolinejane8145]

Lying on my couch eating cherries watching you in Paris. Katy 1, me 0 😂. I love Paris. Those liquor cabinets are exquisite. Have fun.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Tbh, also love a couch cherry moment.

[@duikmans]

Aha! You got to the other side of the big pond. The Marché au Puces really is a fantastic place to roam all day. It is also hazardous for your wallet. Not because of the expensive pieces, their price in itself is enough to scare you away, but because of those little, reasonably priced trinkets. Before you know your bag is full of them and your wallet is empty...

[@LaughCryDIY]

It’s so true. I am so happy I was able to experience it. Good thing I only had one suitcase. I had to be more intentional. (And, boy, those prices for some things were really shocking.)

[@lauriecalery8801]

Katy, you are a hoot!!! Tres charmant. Loved seeing the high-end, high-design, marches. I've only been in a few, but have some favorite textile crafty one. I spent most of my time there in the outdoor flea market area. Great video!! Great style!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Thanks for antiquing with me. It was super fun.

[@realrich7509]

Looking fly, very jealous, stay safe, eat well!!!!!!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Thanks for shopping with us. RIP to Chelsea’s ankle.

La vache! I knew you would go there. Magnifique !!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

I was thrilled. If I lived in Paris, I’d be there all the time.

[@olbird7647]

Oignon, oignon! C'est magnifique! Can't wait for the haul....that place was mind-boggling. I hope you didn't leave poor Chelsea behind! And before j'oublié BONNE ANNIVERSAIRE, fellow Capricornian 🎉🎂🎉

Merci! I’m thrilled I was able to score some treasures for birthday month. Cant wait to share them with you. Chelsea is back home, resting up. ❤️

Oscar was SO sweet! I can’t wait to see your haul!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

He was so kind. Cant wait to show off what I got from him.

[@Kowchevski]

Fantastique! What trip! That little match carrying fella was a Billiken! (aka the God of things as they oughta be) And I WANT HIM SO BAD!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Yes! Oscar was explaining to me about that. So interesting.

[@audreychou5498]

Thank you so much for the video! And love your sense of humor! Quick question: are there shops that open daily in that area? Or they all open on weekends & Mondays? Also a bit surprised that there weren't a lot of people. I'm going next week. Super excited!

[@LaughCryDIY]

From my understanding, yes-weekends and Mondays. Here’s an article I’d referenced before I went: www.parisdiscoveryguide.com/paris-flea-markets.html

Bro you are so funny 🤣🤣😭😭 laughed my ass out

[@LaughCryDIY]

Merci. Welcome to my ridiculous world. ❤️

[@rgw5830]

And then there's XO MaCenna and her lovely mum from the same USA, who show us their delightful trip to French markets !

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oh yes! Very fun

[@dyinteriors]

I am glad this made you happy. You know nothing about anything you are looking at in the market. That part is really sad. But it was fun for me to go along none the less!

[@LaughCryDIY]

That is very sad.

[@corinnehenriet9061]

Oh Katy ... I wish I could have treasure hunt with you ... Paris is just next door to me ... Enjoy

Welcome to the insanity

[@mariaochoa7123]

I hope you found something for Baguette!

[@LaughCryDIY]

I did find something Baguette-themed. 🥖

[@loisruthstrom8143]

I bought a pair of solid brass antique formerly push up candleholders at a yard sale for $4.00!!! Who needs to go to Paris for bargains? The plane fare alone could redecorate a whole room the way I thrift!!! 😄

[@LaughCryDIY]

I love that! I tacked this onto a trip with girlfriends, but my best scores have always been local.

[@joanholly5002]

They should have a warning about Paris streets I fell on my first day -but I have a sturdy knee apparently had tissue damage and blood so I was able to bus it around to museums- still have a discoloured knee cap since August

[@LaughCryDIY]

Once the tragedy occurred and we were googling, we saw so many people writing about injuries in Paris! I’m glad you were able to power through, although the trauma remains. Poor Chelsea was a trooper on crutches, but it seems the travel gods always want to exact their revenge on us.

[@Julierue]

[@Bonnie-ww7mr]

Katy, you're beautiful out and about make-up ~ I May have spoke too soon regarding your little lighter...is a lighter not just the insert, my bad 🥹🤸 cannot find emoji ofa high kicker hahaha thanxoxoxome, Bon 🌲🌲

[@LaughCryDIY]

I just realized there isn’t a high kick emoji! We must correct that immediately. I am starting a petition now. 😂

[@lindaroyal8161]

Oh My! You could spend an entire day, every day for a week and still not see all that's offered. What a wonderful place to explore! I could spend hours in the book areas, can imagine how beautiful some must be. Would find a vintage compact and purse for my collection. I'm surprised the lighter store didn't have any matches, bummer. And...was he not adorable with his sexy French accent!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oscar was such a sweetie! I think I was there for 6 hours collectively, and I still didn’t even crack it. I am excited to share what I did get, though.

[@Lullalies]

8:32 - Gerard le guepard.

[@LaughCryDIY]

YES!!!!!! Gerard!!!

[@MsrAlaindeFerrier]

I think it’s 6 acres to a hectare? X

[@TinaNicholson-g4k]

You probably know this already! You can haggle the price a lot lower than marked, just say whats your best price on this item? If they say 55 offers 50 or less Sorry if you’re all ready an expert at haggling

[@LaughCryDIY]

I wish I were. I’m always so shy. I found that if I waffled in buying, dealers knocked the price down for me without me having to haggle 😂

[@TinaNicholson-g4k]

@@LaughCryDIY You can do it, ha ha Just say! it lovely! but more than I want to spend, can you do anything on that price, they always come down lol happy haggling 😊

[@harveythepooka]

I love places like this but everything is just so damned expensive. To get the good stuff cheap you have to hunt for it in the French version of goodwill.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Totally. The prices are insane. If I had more time, I would have lived to pop into a proper thrift store or really dig into the bins in the flea market. Still glad I scored some treasures. But yeah, lots of price tags were making me sweat.

That flea market is literally for the riches...way too overpriced, it's perfect for the rich and famous and also Home Designers looking for rare or particular items for their clients...the real flea markets are the ones in the street laid out on the ground, great bargains that you can afford. (born in France I never liked that flea market, great if you're rich ...but I'm not lol🤣)

[@LaughCryDIY]

Totally know what you mean. I’d been warned about the prices, and it is absolutely for the elites furnishing chateaus and estates. I would have loved to dig into the proper flea market, but just didn’t have enough time to sift through on this trip. Maybe next time…

[@rory6089]

Googled you as I thought you were too funny not to be doing comedy, firstly I thought "Sh*t, she is dead (and feckin Irish!) and really is haunting that shop!" (Google just your name first and you'll see what I mean) - Had to add American (to Katy French) and found you are a comedian - You should be way more popular, I'm a huge fan of comedy and I'd never heard of you - more people should, you are very very funny.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oh, that damn Irish Katy French. She has haunted me for years!!!!! RIP. Well, glad you found me. And thank you for your kind words.
