There are plenty reasons to visit Marché aux puces de Saint-Ouen if you're ever in Paris: mid-century travel brochures, a Futuro house, mid-century furniture, more mid-century furniture and mid-century modern furniture. If you do go, plan of spending a least a few hours there. We spent about four hours looking and shopping and didn't even scratch the surface. My guess is if you wanted to do the whole thing, it would take days.
Here are the last of my photo collection from Marché aux puces de Saint-Ouen:
I love the photo of the guy in the puffy jacket in front of the color blocked units with the fancy chandeliers overhead! Visiting this place would be a major test of self-control.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favs too. And it's definitely a test of self-control until you realize you can't fit most of the stuff in your suitcase. (I may or may not have pondered the idea of a shipping container for a minute or two of madness.)
