Paris Flea Market Shopping + Tips

[@EileenAldis]

Do you like shopping when you travel? How about flea markets or thrift stores? (I LOVE them!)

[@nancyjohnson9247]

OMG where to start! I love flea markets and can't believe the diversity of items to buy!! Wow...I'd be there for hours just browsing! Thanks for taking us along on your visit and your recommendations. Video is fantastic and so are you. Hope lots of people see this one and enjoy seeing the world through your eyes. Really fun. Every time.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you 💕 You could spend dayyyyys here just looking through everything and having a grrrrrrand time. Wish I had a big container on a ship to pile things in to furnish my imaginary house ;)

The old cameras were really cool - Jumi would love that!

[@EileenAldis]

They were! Do you guys collect old cameras too? 🎥

[@CookingwithYarda]

Cool video. Next time I'll go to Paris I will visit that market ;-)

[@EileenAldis]

That’s great to hear! It’s a wonderful place to explore :)

[@betsyfreeman4218]

I'm a thrift addict! This looks so great!

[@EileenAldis]

Me too!! This is like visiting the mothership for thrifters like us! ❤️

It has been almost ten years since my colleague went to the place that I have been yearning for, and came back and said to me, "You will definitely like it, it is full of things you like." I have been to the markets in many countries, but Paris is always a dream

If you love flea markets you will definitely appreciate! Have you been or not yet?

[@Drifterplanet]

OMG the pin store is so cool! Never seen anything like this before. I love flea markets and always try to find one in most of the places I visit. Even tried the ones in Amsterdam? Btw, this is such a nice video. Subscribed.

Chez Louisette is a cool looking spot!

[@EileenAldis]

We didn't eat there but it looked really kitschy cute and super cozy. They leave the Christmas decorations up all year - nuff said ❤️

[@PollyIsADog]

What a cool place, I imagine you could find some pretty cool treasures in there! Great video :)

[@EileenAldis]

Hey im going next week, would I need to have cash with me or do they have card machines etc at the stalls?

[@jaysonmark8801]

2M visitors a year! That's insane. It's like a tourist attraction. We're you able to buy vintage camera? Love that too!

[@EileenAldis]

We didn't buy any cameras but it was fun to look. And, yeah, they get A LOT of people...I can see why!

I've only ever been to a flea market in Munich, but this one looks like it has heaps of different variety! Love the vintage cameras..I'd probably be hanging around there spending all my monies. Definitely need to go check this out next time we're in Paris!

[@EileenAldis]

Going in Munich would be awesome! The camera shop was great. We have a collection and it's fun to look for others. Highly recommend going to the Paris Flea on your next visit! :)

OMGosh, I remember visiting this amazing market first when I was 17 :) Still looks awesome. Short but sweet episode guys. Always a joy traveling through your eyes. Best, James and Kim

[@EileenAldis]

That's so cool you visited at 17! My obsession with flea markets and thrift stores began as a kid and I've loved it ever since. This place was basically heaven to me haha. So many things I wanted to scoop up. Glad you enjoyed it too :)

[@OneShotAdventures]

Awesome spot, definitely going to check this out next time I'm in Paris! I would spend a while at that camera stall... This is definitely the place to come when you have a new place to decorate and fill with things - not so good for nomad life, you get very good at browsing haha

[@EileenAldis]

Awesome! Yeah it’s a top notch spot for browsing 👌🏻

I LOVE antiques shopping! And it looks like one could spend days just browsing at that market. There's definitely something for everyone!

[@EileenAldis]

It's so true, Linda! You could spend a loooong time even just walking down the rows and going into shops without picking up a single thing. Being there is overwhelming but in a good way. So many things caught my eye 💕

[@EileenAldis]

He did?! That's awesome! That must've been amazing to visit his shop and see everything and get his tips. hahah we spent quiiiiite a while in the pin shop. It's a miracle we left with 'only' 3 pins in the end 😂I extra love the bunny pin. So cute 🐰❤️

hi! I’m going to france soon just for thrifting/flea markets, and I just came across your KZbin vids. I was wondering if you noticed any stores or markets that had vintage or antique lingerie/corsets/dresses ?

[@earth7451]

Fascinating place for window shopping, but no place to put so many things in my apartment..

[@EileenAldis]

I totally agree and have the same issue... ;)

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

I have been looking all over the World for beads, used 1980s Leica and colorful pins. Now I know where to find them.

[@sonali9696]

how many days were you in paris? I have seen a lot of your paris videos so was wondering how did you cover so much! Would love to know your detailed itinerary!

[@melaniecasey7639]

Hi Eileen, can you please let us know how or where we can get a copy of the map you use? Thank you

Why can’t our Goodwills and Salvation Army look more like Parisian flea markets here in the U.S.?

[@EileenAldis]

haha I love North American thrift stores too (like A LOT). The Paris flea is just so great to walk around and get lost in ❤️

[@veronikaanyshkina7235]

Can I pay by card there or should I bring cash?

[@EileenAldis]

I'd always have some cash to be safe.

[@pernillekarnum4392]

Love your videos om Paris, I Think I have watched them all now❤️ I am going to Paris with my husband on august the 2. but we aren’t there on a weekend. Any flea markets on a work day🤞🏼👀❤️ we are there Monday to Friday

[@EileenAldis]

That's lovely to hear and how exciting that you're going to Paris! ❤️ I'm not sure about weekday flea markets but perhaps that's more likely since it's summertime? Either way I'm sure you'll have a fabulous time! Please have a pain au chocolat for me ;)

Can you share the days that they open?

I love visiting markets when travelling! 🙌I'm not so much into antiques but I would have spent a lot of time at the camera shop.😂 Looking at the map of the market at 4:11, it suddenly reminded me of the immense Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok.

Omg Chatucak is awesome! And ENORMOUS. That's cool it made you think of that. The camera shop here was really cool, yeah.

April likes the beads on display too! I like the old maps. How long does it take to get to this from the Eiffel Tower area? Where do you keep the pins you bought? This looks like our kind of place--at least for a couple hours!

[@EileenAldis]

Hmm I'm not sure exactly how long it'd take but it's not close at all. You'd definitely want to take the subway. The Paris Flea is way north of the tower. Worth the trip up, in my opinion!

Hi! Sorry, I don't remember exactly where the camera stall was but maybe near the stall with the pins? It was definitely in the area of the market that we featured. Hope that helps a bit at least! Have fun :)

SO happy for you & Marc were able to have so much fun during this video; to find & spend time in Paris at that flea market, checking out the trinkets, antiques, walking around & drinking a little coffee while looking at everything. Whatever that was at the 6:14 point in the video was a little odd from those guys suddenly running past you & Marc. At the end of this: Lol, furniture or a couch.. not so suitcase-friendly, hahaha. Anyway, loved the video of you two in scenic locations. Have a great one !!!

What camera, drone, and editing software do you use!? Please!? I'm honeymooning in Puerto Veuarta in September so that's how I first stumbled upon you, and I'm so glad!!!

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Victoria! Welcome to our channel :) That's great you're going to start a channel! I've listed a bunch of gear in the description box of the video so best to check the list there and let me know if you have any questions. I'm not sure how big a camera you want or what your budget is but I'd say the Canon G7X is a great camera for vlogging. Small, easy to use, flip up screen 👍Puerto Vallarta is wonderful - hope you have a great honeymoon! If you have time, Sayulita is a little town close by that we love too.

I found this article that has some suggestions: mentalfloss.com/article/31795/why-are-flea-markets-called I've also heard that a rich man in Paris visited such a market back in the day and looked down from his horse and thought the people there looked like 'fleas'....so who knows?!
