Marché aux puces
The Marché aux puces claims to be the biggest market in France, possibly even Europe I think, with over 10 different markets making up the one. You can buy everything from knock off clothing to antique furniture to vintage Chanel. I was searching out vintage adverts and fashion illustrations by Renée Gruau which I found in the Marché aux dauphines, a chic covered area with pop up type shops both on raised walkway areas and on the ground. The posters (below) both from the late 1940s are original prints, one an Elizabeth Arden advert and the other an illustration for Legroux.
