The Metz flea market is in two huge halls of the Metz Congess Hall. Websites say it is in the Parc des Exposition Center rather than Centre Foires et Congrès de Metz Grigy (one and the same), but the signs say Center Foires et Congrès. Also GPS does not show Expo Center nor does it show the street it is on. But it maybe because it was an older GPS we used.
The summer market (July, August) has fewer vendors we were told.
What to buy: Antique furniture galore and knick knacks. Bronze statues, paintings, lamps, vases, etc.
What to pay: It's hard to put a price on the stuff as it all depends on the condition and how much one wants an item. I looked at a few bronze statues and the asking price was between euro 200.00 and euro 400.00 for lesser name artists. Then there were a couple statues for over a thousand euro and one for 3,000.00 (known artists).

This is the shop I liked the most in Metz. It's wonderfully decorated, scented (with those oriental incense sticks) and there is wonderful music playing inside (at the time of my visit it was a gentle bossa nova).
They sell all kinds of stuff from Orient, Africa, South America... There is even a furniture section.
