Enjoy the biggest flea market in Europe: Les Puces

Posted on 15th March 2012 by

If you enjoy hunting down a bargain, you are going to adore Les Puces. It is the biggest flea market in all of Europe, but there are those who argue that it is the biggest in the world. You could spend an entire day here quite easily among the tiny shops, stalls and restaurants browsing through the thousands of items on sale, which comprise of up to the minute fashions to antiques to things that you would generally expect to find at a carboot sale. The thing to remember at Les Puces is that the price that you see doesn’t have to be the price that you pay. You are expected to barter so leave your British reserve at home and have some fun finding that bargain. Les Puces is the perfect place to interact with the local people and to create some memories that are going to stay with you forever – as the perfect place to shop.
