Saint-Ouen may be the largest flea market in Paris, but I prefer the intimate atmosphere of the Porte de Vanves flea market. The two streets that make up this market are lined with vendors selling mainly small wares, from ink pen etchings to porcelain and linens. My favorite was a stall selling beautiful vintage containers and ephemera. Pharmacy boxes, candy tins, bakery glassine bags, sewing notions, and bottle labels were teetering on tables. I told the shop girl I could stay there all day.
