Marche aux Puces

One of Brooke's friends spent her whole fall semester in Paris and made us a huge list of all of her favorite things to do here. She recommended that we go to this flea market,Marche aux Puces, that had a vintage market hidden within. We made our way there this morning, grabbing a crepe and finding our way through thousands of stands of anything and everything tourists could want. You were greeted by "Louis,Gucci,Prada" as men approached you with their arms full of knockoffs. We finally found the nice, hidden vintage market and roamed for a couple hours. The stores were filled with vintage designer purses like Chanel,YSL,Hermes,etc,fun jewelry, art, prints and many other rustic goods. Today we just browsed but are hoping to go back next Sunday ( its opened only on Saturdays and Sundays) and make some purchases!
