Lourve des antiquaries

My husband is a military buff (WWII). Want to know if this would be a place to go to obtain any militaria stuff. I know the flea market at Clinquencourt is another place. Is it worth a look? and can anyone give directions.

I%26#39;m not sure if it%26#39;s still there but there used to be a shop along the arcade (Galerie de Montpensier--west side) withiin the Palais Royal which sold mititary medalsand decorations. Even if you%26#39;ve no interest in military decorations the interior courtyard and gardens of the Palais Royal are well worth the stop.

Clignancourt:

It is actually called St Ouen, Clignancourt is the metro stop and the area is subdivided into many seperate markets. You will probably have the most luck at the Marche Paul Bert, or the Marche Seprette. To get there take metro line 4 to Clignancourt, then exit the station heading north (follow the crowds), but stay on the left side of the street. After you have passed under the overpass you will cross the street then turn left at the next corner on to the rue des Rosiers. These two markets are neighbors, about one block down on the left side of the street.

There is also a stand or two at the Louvre des Antiquaires that may be of interest and the location is so convenient that it is certainly worth a peek. I also seem to recall a stand or two at the Village Swiss, not far from the Eiffel Tower.

If you take KDK%26#39;s advice on the Palais Royal (also near Antiquaires) be sure to peek into the Little Black Dress Shop if you are at all interested in dresses.

The Louvre des Antiquares is a very high end gallery of antique dealers located across the street from the Louvre. It is a very interesting place to walk through, especially if it is cold outside. There are beautiful things for sure, but doubt there are any bargians to be had there.

There is another smaller Flea market at the southern end of Paris that is very interesting also.

Take some time to walk through the various passages. You will find many interesting shops selling specialtie items.

The shops in and around the Palace Royale are are good too

The Flea market at Clingincourt is huge and will take a full day to get through. I only get a week in Paris at a time so I%26#39;ve not felt the need to spend time there, but from what I%26#39;ve read it sounds interesting.

There%26#39;s a shop called %26quot;Outre Mer%26quot; 48 bd Temple 75011 PARIS

where you could find any militaria stuff from the french army and police.
