Private Tour of the Famous Paris Flea Markets
Overview

Mobile ticket
Step into the world of the Paris flea markets with me and discover why they’re unlike anything else. Having spent nearly a decade immersed in the Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, I’ve become part of its rhythm—learning the vendors, hidden corners, and where the real treasures reveal themselves.
I’ll guide you through the maze of marchés, helping you navigate it with ease while sharing the stories behind what you see. Whether you’re searching for something specific or just exploring, I know where to find it—or where you might unexpectedly fall in love with something you didn’t even know you wanted.
Each tour is tailored to you, shaped by your taste and curiosity. We might uncover vintage Chanel necklaces, brass pots, toy soldiers, monogrammed linens, records, swords, signage, Birkin bags, fountains, art, furniture, champagne buckets—and more.
Anything you discover can be shipped home. And somehow, time always flies—you’ll be wandering, discovering, and wishing for just a little more.

Best tour in Paris!

5.00If you're looking for a Paris experience that goes beyond the obvious, book Allison immediately. Our walking tour covered everything: food, a flea market, shopping, and sightseeing, but nothing felt like the version of Paris you've already seen on Instagram a hundred times. Allison took us through neighborhoods and stops that felt genuinely local. The kind of places where you look around and realize you're the only tourist in the room. She knew exactly where to eat, what to order, and which market stalls were worth stopping at and her enthusiasm for the city was completely infectious. What set her apart was the curation. Every stop felt intentional, never rushed, and totally off the beaten path. We left feeling like we'd actually experienced Paris rather than just checked off a list. Honestly one of the highlights of the entire trip. If you want Paris without the crowds and with all the charm, Allison is your person.
Great way to visit the huge Paris market

5.00The tour of the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen was a great experience. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the market had an amazing mix of antiques, vintage fashion, art, and unique collectibles. The tour was well organized and made it easy to explore such a large and busy market. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a different and authentic side of Paris.
Best there is!

5.00I had a fantastic time on the Full-Day Fabulous Flea Markets tour with Allison! She is knowledgeable, organized, and made the whole day fun and stress-free. The weather wasn’t perfect, but it worked out since there were fewer shoppers. Even with fewer vendors, there still wasn’t enough time to see everything! It’s nice to know you can get everything and anything you could want, floor to ceiling, and everything in between! If it’s too big to carry, there are shipping options. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves exploring unique finds and local treasures.
Aux Puces tour in English

5.00Our private tour of aux Puces was one of the highlights of our time in Paris. Our guide was incredibly warm, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable about both the history and layout of the market. What could have felt overwhelming instead became an exciting and inspiring experience. We discovered shops and treasures we never would have found on our own. Beyond the market itself, she also gave us fantastic restaurant recommendations that turned out to be some of our favorite meals of the trip. Her expertise, generosity, and genuine enthusiasm made the entire day feel personal and memorable. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough for anyone visiting the Puces.
Highly recommend
