The 9 Largest Flea Markets & Antique Fairs in France

Braderie de Houilles (Paris & Nearby Counties)

The city of Houilles in the Yvelines (one of Paris’ neighbouring counties) is mostly renowned as the city where Victor Schoelcher, the man behind the decree abolishing slavery in France and the French colonies in 1848, died. Houilles is also the host city for a famous international pedestrian “Corrida”.

However what makes Houilles particularly famous is its Braderie which takes places every year on the 1st Sunday of October. Around 2,000 exhibitors occupy over 6 miles (10 km) of sidewalks and 300,000 visitors attend the event.

When he realized that his place was started to look like a perfect IKEA showroom, Nicolas decided it was time to change and started out of curiosity to see what a flea market looked like. 8 years and a thousand finds later, he is now looking for a bigger flat to accommodate all his awesome flea market treasures, vintage items and design furniture. Nicolas has been featured on The Wall Street Journal, Homes & Antiques, HGTV Magazine, Refinery 29, NPR, and CBS New York. Connect with Nicolas on Google+
