The perfect way to spend a Saturday morning in Paris

Scott_F, May 2023

Solene, was the perfect guide for this excursion. Her knowledge of the market ensured we went to reputable vendors and she was able to negotiate a better prices due to our lack of French. I felt reassured with our purchases. Solene was also wonderful to spend the morning with. She is a true delight ❤️

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you so much ! It was a pleasure to have you on this tour. All the best, Solene

Don’t waste time and money

Janet_G, May 2023

Underwhelming. I do not think it was worth the price. Very few things were of interest. I felt like the guide was only taking us to vendors she had a relationship with.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Janet, I brought you to all 4 main sections of the flea market, where I thought you would find something you like, even if it was hard for me to understand what you were looking for. I know all the vendors at the flea, no special relationships. I just know them so I talk to them. I'm sorry the French antique market wasn't your style...

Excellent experience

Stella_S, Dec 2022

Celine was excellent really knew her way around St Ouen! We got to see everything we wanted to see and buy. A lot to see we’re exhausted by end but happy. This market is too big to navigate on your own without expert advice. Thank you Celine

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you ! :-)

Fun shopping trip!

Kathryn_D, Oct 2022

We had a great guide for the 4 hour flea market trip. She asked what we wanted to look for and took us to vendors she knew had quality merchandise. It would have been hard to navigate without a local.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you ! It was nice to meet you. Solene

Very helpful and worthwhile

Michael_L, Sep 2022

Excellent tour. We met at our hotel and took a quick taxi to the market. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the market and the items in the market. It is very worthwhile to have a guide that can get you around quickly and return to stores previously visited. Also, she was extremely helpful in giving tips for my other tours for the rest of my stay in Paris. At the end she helped us get a taxi back to our hotel. Excellent guide and tour, highly recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you so much ! It was nice to meet you.

Great trip to antiques and flea market Paris

Rachel_T, Sep 2022

We had a fabulous time with Solene from A Journey in Paris. She guided us to the shopping stores at the Antiques market we were most interested in. Solene was friendly, knowledgeable and she made sure we had a great experience. I highly recommend Solene. She is a licensed tour operator in Paris.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you so much Rachel ! It was very nice to have you 2 on my tour :-)

Brenda_K, May 2022

Solene did a wonderful job of showing us the market and taking us exactly where we wanted based on our goals. We actually found great items and good prices! She was lovely to spend time with!

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you so much Brenda ! It was nice meeting you and enjoying the flea market together :-)

Wonderful tour & excellent guide!

aemcneill, Oct 2018

We loved the flea market tour & our guide, Solene, was a wonderful guide. She knew the different areas of the market & with her help we were able to find some fabulous antiques at the right price. She also liaisoned on our behalf with the shipper, which was very helpful. I was sad when the tour ended. I felt like I was saying bye to a good friend! We will definitely repeat this tour on return trips to Paris.

suzi d, Jul 2018

WOW! How lucky we we to do this tour. This isn't just a market, this is the most stunning vintage and pre loved market we have ever seen - and we travel all over the world. Solena our guide was so knowledgeble, passionate and experienced. She treated us as the client and we felt like we had made an instant friend. Shopped til we dropped Treasures taken home included LV, Chanel, Kodak vintage camera with original bag, vintage Seiko watches .... Solena asked us what we wanted, took us to the best places, told us who to avoid and bargained for us. Enjoyed her company immensely and if you want to shop Parisian style - this is the one to do!

Diane J, Nov 2017

Wonderful, exciting, memorable. Our tour guide Solene, an expert in this market. She introduced us to vendors and helped us with our purchases. An experience we would have never had if we had tried to tackle this on our own. For a true French market experience this is definitely the way to go.

Amazing! Solene knows the market...

Katie R, Aug 2017

Amazing! Solene knows the market inside and out. I never would have been able to navigate it without her. The vendors know her and give her better prices so you will actually save money using her. It's very important to her that you find what you're looking for and she literally won't stop until you find it. She also has a genuine enthusiasm about the market and you can tell that she's having fun as well.

Rhonda D, Apr 2017

I had wanted to go to Saint Ouen for years, but was intimidated by not being proficient in French. Our guide, Solene, was wonderful to work with. She diligently helped me search for specific items. Shopping with her saved an enormous amount of time because she knew where to find the items I was interested in, and she was a delightful person to be with. The vendors know her and greeted her with smiles. We had a truly wonderful time, and I wouldn't hesitate to book any sort of tour with her again..

This excursion with Solene was so...

Katie Z, Mar 2017

This excursion with Solene was so much fun! I found everything I was looking for. My new vase, candelabra and mirror are going to be treasured pieced for me to look back on and remember this trip. I highly recommend this tour for all first timers to this flea market because it is an absolute maze!

I have been to Paris many times but...

Donna_H, Feb 2017

I have been to Paris many times but avoided going to the St. Ouen Flea Market because it seemed to be overwhelming and I didn't know where to begin. After going through the market with a private guide who knew the vendors and her way around the market, I had a great experience and look forward to venturing to the market on my own the next time I am in Paris. Our guide was great haggling prices for us in French and helping us use our time wisely by taking us to the booths that we were interested in. We left the market with our arms filled with treasures.

Did a number of tours in Paris...

Deanna R, Jan 2017

Did a number of tours in Paris. This by far was my most favorite. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The guide confirmed my pick up time and took me to the most amazing flea market. She was extremely knowledgeable as to which shops to visit...there are a ton of them and the place is a maze. You have to take this tour if you go to Paris!!!!

What a great time! My guide was so...

Mary W, Oct 2016

What a great time! My guide was so kind and knowledgeable. I gave her a list of things I liked and she was able to find individual items I loved. So glad I did a tour- I would have gotten lost and not have found the places I wanted to see. You need a guide your first time in the St Ouen flea market. The four hours I spent here flew by. I don't usually shop that long. Also included a coffee break in a delightful restaurant.

Joseph_p, Sep 2016

This was our best day of our entire trip to Paris. Our guide, Solene was lovely, very helpful and knowledgeable about the flea market. She inquired prior to our visit about our interests and made sure we visited the shops that would satisfy our interests. We even went to a quaint café for a drink that was not tourist and gave us a flavor of how the true Parisians spend their days at the flea market. We highly recommend and we will even do this tour on our next visit!
