flea markets, outdoor markets, department stores & shopping malls
Flea Markets
There are 4 types of second hand goods: a yard sale is a vide grenier, an Antique Market is a Salon d’Antiquaire, a flea market is a Marché aux puces, and bric-a-brac is brocante. Don't discount the flea markets and brocante sales - some of these items are treasures. Strolling through these markets is a nice way to spend an afternoon.

Outdoor Markets
These run year-round, and they're not just for food - each have special features that make them fun to visit. You can find furniture, clothing, books, CDs, as well as some antiques. Check the quality of produce - some sellers grow their own, and others seem to get their produce from the same wholesalers as the grocery stores. |
