Where to go in (the vicinity of) Paris to find Art Nouveau antiques
Planning a weeks trip to Paris, focused on locating Art Nouveau antiques (furniture, mirrors, lamps etc) for purchase. I know of the flea market in Saint-Ouen and plan to visit it. Are there any more suitable markets/shops like this in the vicinity (driveable day-trip) of Paris?
Best Answer
There should be a magasin for sale at almost every kiosk listing all brocantes, puces and the like. I forgot the name, but I got my first sample by just asking for it in at the local kiosk.
You might also want to check Stade Charlety. If I recall correct, there should be huge market there once a month.
Further more I would recommend the brocante of porte de vanves on Saturday and Sunday. Make sure to be early to find the nice pieces. The latter is not as big as the one in Saint Ouen, but certainly worth a visit
