A visit does take one back in history and provides a sense of peace and tranquility. Truly a must visit for those who appreciate fine architecture, French history, and the beauty of Paris churches.

Marche Vernaison

Reviewed By Sauna_Boss - London, United Kingdom

Worth visiting if you like antiques, even if you do not intend to buy anything. Larger than Portobello Road in London but (unlike that market) there is a clearer split between high priced top of the range antiques and lower priced vintage items. At the back of the Marche Vernaison is a cafe where a singer performs Edith Piaf songs.

Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen

This huge flea market, just north of the 18th Arrondissement, has been operating in some form since the Middle Ages.

Reviewed By MsNinaG

Amazing experience. Some of the high end antiques from the 17th century (art, funiture, etc.) could have been in the Louvre and I would have had no idea. Rush past those cheap vendors on the outskirts - there are amazing high and lower end antiques. Prices felt high - but really neat things. Vendors were friendly and engaging (and dropped prices when asked.) Had a delightful lunch at some great cafe in the interior - the aisles go on forever. Was recommended this for a rainy Sunday by a high end local friend who previously worked in the corporate office of Chanel (great style) - we loved it. Highly recommend.

Aeroville

Reviewed By kkayjewel - Jakarta, Indonesia

If you have to stay in airport hotel and too short to go to the city but too long to just stay in your room then going to Aeroville is a recommended option. It has many stores, branded and locals also many good restaurant. It is so easy to reach from airport hotel as well as many bus route is stopping by. If you're moslem looking for halal restaurant, his mall has few choices. My recommendation is an Iranian restaurant that has great taste of grills of Lamb and Chicken. Shopping in Aeroville is awesome too, other than many stores, it has super big hypermarket as well. Unfortunately I think the mall is closed too soon. 8pm is the latest time and in summer it event not dark yet.
