The Puces de Vanves is Paris's only intramural antiques and bric-a-brac market, located in the 14th arrondissement along avenues Marc-Sangnier and Georges-Lafenestre and on the Place de la Porte-de-Vanves. Open every Saturday and Sunday, including holidays, with 380 professional dealers, they offer a rare diversity: antique furniture, art deco, lighting, silverware, vintage textiles, jewelry, antiquarian books, objets d'art, folk art, Oriental and African art. Amongst the stalls, a "carré des biffins" allows non-professional sellers to offer their discoveries, subject to local conditions. This market is a mecca for Parisian bargain hunters, prized by collectors, enthusiasts and the curious. It embodies the spirit of the authentic flea market, accessible, lively and rich in unexpected finds.
