The Basilica Cathedral of Saint-Denis, the burial place for the kings of France as early as the 6th century, is a magnificent architectural structure that has great historical significance and typifies the beauty of Paris' many churches. 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 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.

Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace - National Air and Space Museum of France

The National Air and Space Museum of France is one of the first aeronautics museums in the world, both for its age and the wealth of its collections. Founded in 1919, it features an exceptional historic ensemble in the three domains of flight : aerostation, aviation and space.

Fantastic museum with some amazing aircraft on display. There is a bus service from anywhere in town to the location, so it is easy to reach and the museum is stocked with some rare aircraft - Concorde, Spitfires and some of the best French made jets you will ever see. A good shop shop with some memorabilia on site is worth a visit.

Marche Saint-Denis

Reviewed By readyabout - Philadelphia, United States

Easily accessed from central Paris by the #13 Metro, this market is a block from the beautiful and historic cathedral and makes for a truly memorable and non-touristy Sunday few hours. The stands close early afternoon. Busy crowds of mostly North African families doing their weekly shopping. Great values, many butchers, vegetable stands, cheesemongers, fishmongers, spices. Outside the covered market are the usual arrays of cheap household goods and clothing, as well as brick and mortar specialty shops (where else can you see an entire wall of 10 different varieties of couscous, plus the cookware to make it properly, Moroccan tea sets, tagines etc). Don't be deterred by xenophobic "safety" warnings - its crowded and you should not have your wallet hanging out, duh.
