Have you dreamed of visiting the famed vintage flea markets of France but are unsure where to start?

I had always dreamed of visiting Paris--browsing the green stalls of the bouquinistes along the Seine, picnicking by the Eiffel tower, visiting Versailles, and of course shopping the granddaddy of them all, the Marches Aux Puces, or the Market of the Fleas.

I had studied French, researched all of the sights, and reviewed all of the many museums. But life got in the way and the dream faded to a wisp of impossibility. Fast-forward to the post-pandemic times, and I found myself in a new place, with time on my hands and an itch to finally do all of those things I’d dreamed of before it was too late.

My daughter and I made our first trip to Paris in the fall of 2023 and I was officially hooked. Paris was all that I had hoped and so much more. We tentatively ventured out with our carefully researched itinerary and it was fabulous. We found the markets to be accessible and the vendors to be friendly and willing to bargain with us- and to forgive my novice French!

We have returned to France multiple times, and we have curated a fantastic array of markets, shops, and antique fairs. We have seen many of the museums and castles, taken several Seine cruises, and eaten many pastries! From the fashion museums to the restaurants to the famed sites like the Louvre, Sacre Coeur, and the Opera, we are ready to help you craft your own adventure.

Our guided group trip will include several flea market days with help negotiating and navigating. We will help you find all sorts of vintage treasures and take you to both high-end and more accessible markets. We will do a Seine cruise to see the city at its most glorious and we will visit the Eiffel Tower. We will share a lovely dinner and experience a food tour with our favorite guide through historical areas of the city, tasting a variety of sweets and savories that Paris is known for.

Trips will include some free time for guests to explore on their own, and we are ready to consult with you to plan your free time.

Airport pickup and drop-off, breakfast, and transportation to the flea markets and museums/Versailles will be included.
