From October 19 to 22, 2012, the Puces de Clignancourt will be entertaining lovers of antiques and art. A host of events are planned to give the site a new dimension. 
The world’s largest antiques market becomes a place of cultural effervescence and fun. For this first edition, the theme is time. Time, inescapable. Present in numerous objects such as clocks and watches, but also the initial premise of this taste for the antique, it claims an omnipresence.
Fanfares, street singers, the Bal des Martines and gypsy jazz. From Friday onwards, there will be special unpacking and theatrical entertainment. On Saturday and Sunday, the atmosphere intensifies, with themed menus in the restaurants, painting exhibitions, theatrical readings and more. On Monday, a special unpacking will take place in the various markets, and bands will continue to play in the cafés.
Created in 1870, the Puces have diversified over the years. By 1920, they had acquired a festive dimension. Over the years, they have built up an excellent reputation.
Today, they welcome 4 million visitors every year. Their renown extends beyond France to the rest of the world.
With 7 hectares of floor space, 14 markets and 1,700 merchants, you’re in for an incredibly magical weekend.
Don’t hesitate!
