(Linked below is my outfit and similar plates and bowls like I bought that you can find online!) **sorry about the sound at times! My microphone wasn’t being my friend that day😂But she’ll behave next time!** Puces de Vanves takes place every Saturday and Sunday, all year round, from 7am to 1pm, just outside the périphérique in the 14th arrondissement (metro line 13 to Porte de Vanves). It’s one of the most relaxed and approachable flea markets in Paris — perfect for slow wandering, vintage finds, and everyday treasures. 🏺 Puces vs Brocante vs Vide-Grenier — what’s the difference? If you’re shopping in France, you’ll come across a few different types of markets: * Puces (flea markets): professional sellers and antique dealers * Brocantes: more curated antique and vintage markets, often with higher-quality or older pieces * Vide-greniers: neighborhood garage-sale–style markets where locals sell items from their own homes Each has a very different feel, and knowing the difference helps you choose the right market for what you’re looking for! To find flea markets, brocantes, and vide-greniers happening across Paris, this website has everything all year round!https://vide-greniers.org/evenements/Paris 🛍 Practical Paris Flea Market Tips * Bring cash — many sellers don’t accept cards (small bills help) * Always say bonjour before asking questions * Learn a few simple phrases like “Ça c’est combien ?” * Haggling is accepted, especially later in the day — being polite and friendly goes a long way☺️ * Go early for the best selection, or late for better prices * Walk the whole market before buying — prices vary a lot * Bring a tote or backpack (most sellers don’t provide bags) * Check conditions carefully — chips, cracks, and wear are common * Even a little French goes a long way (merci, bonne journée) 🎥✂️ Huge merci to Chloé Finch (@chloevfinch) for filming AND editing this video — she brought this Paris market morning to life so beautifully. ✨ Check out her work → https://www.chloevfinch.com/ 🛍 Links & Mentions →Shop my outfit: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/3682928Shop my vintage bowls and plates: https://shopmy.us/ainsleydurose/my-home Buy my bracelet! → https://www.atelierjiboia.com/product/ainsleys-braceletAmazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/ainsleydurose?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_2SM4RB2DX5V04NHXXCDQShop my apartment: https://shopmy.us/ainsleydurose/my-homeAll other links: https://linktr.ee/ainsleydurose 🎥 Watch next →My Paris Apartment Tour → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1V2sIq5yeoHonest Q&A: Moving & Living in Paris as a Pastry Chef → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lwNxTCNa-0I Made a Christmas Feast in my Tiny Parisian Kitchen → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW4JiHCTzFU Follow along:Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/ainsleyduroseTikTok → http://tiktok.com/@ainsleyduroseMy café → https://www.instagram.com/caferevelotion/?hl=en .
