Flea market or "marché aux puces" or "les puces"
there are two famous in Paris (or at least just outside Paris)
- les puces de clignancourt (metro : porte de clignancourt), these are not the real real flea market in the tradition... this is more a huge market. Items are not always cheaper as the rest of paris.
- les puces de montreuil (metro : porte de montreuil) are the real flea market in which you will find old clothes, old TV, old engines, old whatever on old tables... but sometimes, old also means that it's in a bad condition... how ever check it out !

In need of cheap clothing? Go to Emmaus! There are four in Paris and once there you will find very inexpensive used clothing. If you look hard, you can find good quality items, some in top condition! The stores operate on donations and the sales help to employ over 100 under privileged people. So it is a win/win situation! For example, I purchased Bally shoes for 4 Euros a pair. Emmaus even claims to wash and iron all clothing that arrives in their stores.
Addresses:
11 avenue Joffre-Saint Mande, Metro Saint MandeTourelle
22 blvd Beaumarchais, Metro Bastille
54 rue de Charonne, Metro Charonne or Ledru Rollin
105 blvd Davout, Metro Porte de Montreuil
Of course, shopping in Paris is always associated with going to these huge department stores called les grands magasins, like the Galeries Lafayette or the Printemps…but then their prices can still be restrictive to those with US dollars. So one of the options for women would be to go the “designer depots” where designer clothes are sold at huge discounts. A good list can be found at http://gofrance.about.com/od/parisattractions/a/parisshopping_2.htm
But just be forewarned that shopping for good clothes in Paris is a serious matter and so when going into boutique stores, be sure you are not wearing shorts and sneakers…best to be cleaned up so that you will be entertained well (Remember Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman”?)
And on Sundays, the stores are usually closed and so this would be the time to explore the more affordable flea markets like the Porte de Montreuil in the 20 ème Arrondissement and the Porte de Clignancourt in the 18ème.
Have fun in Paris…
French chic, Paris
Oooo-la-la! (Alas nobody actually said this...)

Hi, has anyone ever stayed at the Comfort Hotel Devout Nation?
The price is almost too good to be true, but it fits our budget. It's equilient to $90 or so per night, but is it clean, safe...?
Also, how is the CISP? Central Int'l de Sejour de Paris? I e-mailed them but haven't heard back yet.
Thanks very very much for sharing your experiences w/ an unseasoned traveler. TLynne
I haven't stayed in that particular Comfort Hotel, but Comfort Inns / Hotels are fine in my experience. Not fancy, but perfectly comfortable. They're part of Choice Hotels, which is a huge group.
They can make a low price though they have 3 *** because :
- they are in the outskirts of Paris (Metro Porte de Montreuil)
- there is no attraction in the neighborhood. The nearest are Lachaise Cemetary and the Flea Market of Porte de Montreuil (very small compared with the one of Porte de St Ouen)
- there is no salon during the period. Anyway, they are far from Porte de Versailles, the salons site.
The area is popular but safe.
Have a good stay and think Metro.

Hello!I would like to know if Porte Montreuil is a safe area.I am not interested in the surroundings , I will only walk from Porte de Montreuil metro so as to go to the centre.I don't to stay somewhere , where crimes are often.What are your comments please?
At last, i found a special internet price for a suite! in Suite hotel Porte de Montreul for 46euros/suite!
Paris is very dangerous.
There are gangsters everywhere.
People are robbed and murdered all the time.
Some people are even murdered twice.!!!!
(This is called "tongue in cheek" - Paris is safer than most places and no more dangerous than any other place)
Monteruil is a very colourful neighborhood, with lots of emmigrants from maghreb and West Africa.
Not dangerous, but very different from, say, the latin quarter... (but so much more interesting too). This is the real Paris, where people actually live (as opposed to central Paris which is more like a postcard for tourists, and where rent makes it impossible for common people to live there).
Don't miss the flea market on saturdays and sundays.
If you are a backpacker type of traveller, not afraid of being in a blue collar area, go ahead.
If you are a lone woman, used to beautiful hotels and luxury, forget about it.
If you want to have a look at what it looks like:
1. go to http://photos.pagesjaunes.fr/x/acc/acc_paris.html
2. you'll see a map of paris on the right side of the page and two text fiemds on the right
3. type "avenue de la porte de montreuil" on the second text field (the one called "rue"). Hit "rechercher".
4. A map of the area, will appear on the right side of the screen, with a curor showing where you are. A picture is displayed on the left side. You can use the arrow below to walk up and down cross the street, go wherever you like. 99% of paris streets have been pictured and digitized.
Have a nice virtual stroll!
Going back to Paris at the end of March. Are there any big flea markets that are easy to get to. I have been to St Ouen.
Thanks for your help
There are flea markets all over paris--different days for different neighborhoods. If you really want to get to some good ones you will have to buy a book. The biggest and oldest is at Porte de Clingancort(sp) on saturdays. It is absolutely giant! Get off at the subway stop and follow the crowds. They have everything you can possibly imagine!
Hello,
The flea markets in porte de Saint-Ouen and porte de Clignancourt are in fact only one!!! ;-)
This is just the name of the 2 main entrances on the ring.
This is definitly the best one. Open, saturday, sunday and monday (but not very nice I think monday).
You have an other flea market in porte de Montreuil, smaller.
Thanks for your help. Paris is a great place to shop, the stores, the markets. Flea Markets are where the deals are and language doesn't seem to be a problem. My only warning is watch for pick pockets and women should not go alone.

I have some time to kill on a Tuesday. Are there any flea markets open then?
