Furnished apartment and studio rentals in Paris Porte de Clignancourt Area.

Porte de Clignancourt, a heaven for bargain hunters

Porte de Clignancourt first held a scrap metal fair in 1885, which gradually turned into a flea market. After World War I (1914-1918), the Vernaison market was created, comprising prefabricated stands leased to second-hand goods dealers. The Marché Biron and Marché Malik followed. The bourgeois classes began to frequent the place and bargain hunting became all the rage. Over the years, other sectors opened up, and Clignancourt’s Marché aux Puces became famous the world over.

Porte de Clignancourt district, the home of antique dealers

The Marché aux Puces in Clignancourt was the first antique market in the world, offering visitors both luxury antique stores and a mixture of bric-a-brac stands. Visitors from all over Paris and beyond come to seek out a bargain on the 17 acres of this giant market. A stone's throw away, Square Ginette-Neveu (Rue Ginette-Neveu and Rue Francis-de-Croisset), recently renovated and with two children's playgrounds, is perfect for a relaxing break.
