There are so many different places to shop in Paris, seriously!  There are endless possibilities, but if you are one of those people that love to go to flea markets, you probably want to take a stroll on over to Clignancourt, as this is one of the most famous flea markets and certainly one of the best to find everything and anything that you may be looking for!  In this blog, we will explore some tips and tricks when you are visiting a flea market in Paris, there are a few things to watch out for!

Firstly, you want to make sure that you have the hours of the flea market down, after all, flea markets aren’t open all the time!  Next, you want to make sure that you go before lunch, unless you like the crowds.  Immediately after lunch is when the vendors get all of their best business and the flea market certainly becomes more and more packed.  Finally, you want to make sure that you keep your wallet in a fanny pack … flea markets are filled with pick pockets and while that may sound weird, a lot of hotels and such get calls about tourists losing their wallets and even their passports because of pick pockets.
