Best time: Saturday to Monday, roughly 10:00–18:00
Cost: Mid–Luxury
Tip: Marché Paul Bert Serpette is the serious design and antiques market; Vernaison is the most atmospheric. Bargaining is expected — start at about 70%.
Watch outThe approach streets outside the market are a different world from the market itself: counterfeit clothing, three-card games and pickpockets. Walk straight through to the covered markets.

The historic quarter's boutiques — independent French designers, concept stores, vintage on Rue de la Verrerie and the Sunday opening that the rest of Paris lacks.
