Just two metro stops from our apartment, we have the fantastic marché aux puces (flea market) at Porte de Vanves. Although it requires getting up early (the market opens at 8 am and finishes by 1 pm), it is well worth it. We easily spent three hours sifting through the hidden treasures of the over 200 traders set up there and walked away with some amazing Marie Claire magazines from the 1930s for just 4 euros a piece. On a second trip back with my family this weekend, I stumbled across a table of vintage jewelry and bargained for a gorgeous gold necklace I haven't been able to take off since (I got to practice my bargaining skills in French too!).
