One of the best tips I was given is to take the metro to Garibaldi, then walk down Rue des Rosiers to the market. This avoids the street hawkers and tourist traps at the other end.

#9 Antiquities
The flea market at St-Ouen in the north of Paris is almost like a mini city in itself - an overflowing treasure-trove of antiques. From vintage Chanel and Louis Vuitton clothes, to chandeliers and woodwork, old photos and postcards, as well as trinkets and furniture, this market has it covered. After all, it's said to be the biggest antiques market in the world. Be prepared to spend quite a lot of time here, as there's just so much to see! Prices fluctuate depending on what you're after, but thankfully browsing is free! ; )
