Brocante — Village d’Auteuil

For one of the better brocante shows to look for silver, fine china, goblets of Baccarat, antique necklaces, old framed art pieces and other fine brocante pieces, visit Porte d’Auteuil in the posh 16th Arrondissement the weekend of June 23 and 24. Saturday and Sunday only, 150 antique and brocante vendors will be lined up at the Porte d’Auteuil metro. Who knows what treasures you might find here, but you are guaranteed to find some excellent artifacts without having to go all the way to Les Puces de Saint-Ouen. Last time I was here items for sale included art deco period furniture pieces, women’s furs, and old LPs (45s). Porte d’Auteuil metro stop (Ligne 10) is also close to other shops, cafes and restaurants on or near Rue d’Auteuil.

Some of my favorite places nearby include Pizzeria d’Auteuil, Lenotre, Le Congres, Servant, Monoprix and Nicolas.
