Saint-Ouen's Labyrinth: Navigating the World's Largest Flea Market

Largest flea market in the world? Over 2,000 shops in 17 acres? Cool! Although everything was outrageously expensive, it was still fun to browse and pretend I was someone high on the social ladder who could afford to put such antiques in my tastefully decorated mansion.




Our walks book warned us against taking pictures due to grumpy salesmen, but how can you resist? I was quick and discreet in my photo taking.




Stores like this one were my favorite. Piles and piles of "junk" just waiting to be sifted through and turned into treasures.




This chandelier had to be at least fifteen feet tall. Remember the social ladder I mentioned in the beginning? mmmhmmm.





I found my own treasure in the flea market- these beautiful 1942 copies of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.

LOVE LOVE LOVE them.


And that was the Flea Market! I wish I could have gotten away with taking more pictures because this place was really insane. The pictures don't quite do it justice. You will just have to come visit me and we can go treasure hunting so you can see St. Ouen's Labyrinth for yourself.
