There’s something about the crisp fall weather in Paris that makes it particularly pleasant for browsing the city’s flea markets. One of the bigger upcoming brocantes takes place November 25-27 in the painfully hip North Marais district, along the Rue Spuller, Rue Perrée, Rue Debelleyme, Rue Caffarelli, Rue de Bretagne and Rue de Picardie. There will be about 500 stands selling a mix of junk, antiques, and crafts. The courtyard of the Mairie du 3ème will be specially dedicated to children’s toys. You can find listings for other brocantes and flea markets around Paris at the websites vide-greniers.org and www.brocabrac.fr.
