    Porte de Vanves

    Posted by nounou 12 May 2007

    This market is situated in southern Paris and takes place on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 in the morning to around 1.30pm.

    Selling lots of Parisian knick-knacks, books, old postcards, jewellery, furniture and much more.

    A mix of professionals and amateur sellers and, unlike some other markets in Paris which are awash with cheap clothes and tat, this one has a certain charm.

    The sellers aren't pushy and are happy for you to look around and root through without hovering over your shoulder. Some are completely oblivious to their customers, I passed four men sitting at a table playing cards while people sorted through fabric!

    Although officially it finishes at 1.30, I would advise going early-ish as many start packing up around 12.

    All together a lovely place to wander on a weekend morning.
