Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Lucien was on time- easy to understand and even used French when I asked - to practice my French language. He showed me all the most interesting parts of the market and helped me find a few presents that I was searching for. He was fun, interesting and provided a lot of info on the history of the area and the market. He helped me buy my metro ticket as the machine was broken and made sure I got on the right train to my hotel. "
"The Paris Saint-Oeun flea market can be overwhelming! In fact, my husband and I have bern there many times. Our tour with Lucien made all the difference! He’s smart and interesting as well as flexible. He helped us find a beautiful, hand-carved statue of the Virgin Mary … even though his speciality is a market overview rather than finding specific items. "
"Great time walking around the flea market with Lucien. He was patient and filull of knowledge. "
"Lucien was a great guide - he was knowledgeable and showed us the best places for what we were looking for. It was definitely helpful to have a local to show us around, as it would be easy to get lost in these markets! "
"Lucien was the perfect guide for this market! My teen daughter is into vintage and really wanted to go to this market. These markets are not my thing and I was concerned about getting lost and also not being able to find what we wanted. Lucien lives close by and comes here often, so he could easily point out wonderful hidden galleries and, for instance, that the historical post cards in one gallery were six times as expensive as some similar items in another. Lucien specializes in historical paper artifacts (maps, books, postcards) and also shared much interesting information about classic French children’s toys and books. If you are looking for household or fashion items (vintage designer purses, silverware, furniture, Limoges) he can take you to where you’ll find them but (as he is forthcoming about in his tour description) he does not have expertise in these (though he will help you get the right price). Lucien’s English is excellent and we loved this tour. He also texted us after the tour with suggestions of where to find items that my daughter was looking for that weren’t at the market. Absolutely lovely guide and worth the price. "
"We had a great time walking through the Paris flea market with Lucien. It was a great mix of the interesting treasures of the market, with some fascinating historical stories thrown in. Really enjoyed the morning :) "
"Lucien was very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. He has a passion for history which made it even more interesting. The markets are pretty cool. The market is not in Paris which I did not realize when I booked but we used Uber to and fro and it was fine. Trains are also available. We ate at a cute cafe after the tour.-there are a few to choose from. There is everything! My daughter bought a cool jacket for 8 euro and there was designer clothes for far more. Beautiful antiques and furniture and junk too! There is a lot to see and it was a great day! "
"Lucien is an amazing guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. He recommended everything from things to do in Paris, museums to visit, movies and shows anout Paris, and of course shops to visit in the market. He knew just where to find the things we were looking for. We had an amazing experience!"
" Lucian is knowledgeable and passionate with Paris history and local areas. We booked a tour at the Flea market, which was a great and different experience for us thanks to Lucian. He pointed us to different stores and objects which we probably wouldn’t discover by ourselves, and he turned the tour to an educative and valuable for us. Lucian is a very nice and intelligent person and we enjoyed spending the time with him in conversation and learning. Lucian is a certified tour guide and is doing different tour types in Paris. We will contact Lucian next time we are in Paris for a different tour. "

Dive into the magic of Les Puces de Saint Ouen, the world's largest flea market! Imagine a labyrinth of treasures waiting just for you. A private tour of Les Puces de Saint Ouen is your key to unlocking its secrets.
Did you know 'flea market' originated here? In the 19th century, 'rag-and-bone' men sold items found in Paris trash, often infested with fleas. This market became their official home just outside the city.
Les Puces de Saint Ouen is a vibrant world of its own. It's not just shopping; it's a cultural experience. Hear the buzz of negotiation, smell old books, and feel the history in every unique object.
Shopping makes you hungry! Refuel like a local at a traditional bistro within the market. Try 'Chez Louisette,' where you can enjoy classic French food accompanied by live accordion music for a true Parisian vibe.
The legendary gypsy-jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt grew up and played in the caravans around Les Puces de Saint Ouen. His music became the soundtrack to this bohemian world. You can still feel his spirit here.
This isn't one market, but 14 distinct ones! From the high-end antiques of Marché Biron to the quirky finds of Marché Vernaison, a local guide is essential to navigate this amazing maze and find your treasure.
What will you discover? A vintage designer handbag, a rare vinyl record, an Art Deco lamp? The thrill of the hunt is real at Les Puces de Saint Ouen. Every stall holds a potential story and a perfect souvenir.
