Description

---

Containing information and anecdotes, this guide sets out to show how easy it is to sample the twin delights of the fleamarkets of two capital cities. London's list includes Portobello, Bermondsey Market and Camden Lock. In Paris, the Puces de Saint-Ouen, with its 11 sub-markets, draws more crowds than the Eiffel Tower itself. The authors provide practical advice on opening hours, travelling by bus, tube and car, and places to eat. Detailed indices should enable the reader to find everything from regency mirrors to Roman antiquities, Napoleon III furniture to 1920s couture, buttons and corkscrews.
