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.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12679 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12460 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12460 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12450 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12450 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12435
You cannot help but be impressed by its scale. It has the 'grand canal', fountains, a chateau and huge expanses of immaculately kept lawns. But what is also nice is that you can take smaller plane tree lined paths that guide you through a series of more secluded areas. Both elements work seamlessly together.

Undoubtedly the best place to have a picnic in summer!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12435
