The original flea market may be the Marché aux puces (“market with fleas” in French) of Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis, in the northern suburbs of Paris dating back to the 17th century, and still very popular with the Parisians and tourists. One can spot the likes of Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson browsing through, as well as Hollywood celebrities such as Misha Barton and Julie Delpy. They [Parisians] say that some even saw French Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief, Carine Roitfeld, and Antichrist’s Charlotte Gainsbourg checking out the flea market goodies.
