Bastille antique and brocante market in Paris.
One of the largest antique markets in France opened this week near the
Place de la Bastille in Paris. The Salon d'Antiquites Brocante Place
de la Bastille takes place twice each year, in the spring and fall.
More than 350 dealers exhibit under a big tent and in booths on both
sides of the Arsenal basin.
This is the 57th Bastille antique
fair, and the theme for this one is basketry, so
you’ll find lots of antique wicker furniture, fishing creels, and straw
crafts, in addition to a vast assortment of paintings, jewelry,
decorative objects, furniture, and more.
The entrance fee is 8 euros and the market is open from 11AM until 7PM through May 16. The show returns again for ten days starting on November 4.
