Antiquing is one of my favourite things to do anywhere, but especially in France. There’s something about the thrill of finding a piece with a bit of history! Just outside Paris, this antiques and flea market only happens twice a year, which makes it even more special. Naturally, I brought a few things home with me. Here a few tips for your next visit: ✨ arrive early if you can, before decision fatigue sets in ✨ if you spot something truly special and haven’t seen another like it, don’t assume you’ll find better later ✨ keep measurements on your phone if you’re shopping for home pieces ✨ leave room in your suitcase… or accept that you may be coming home with a few extra bags The 2026 fair dates are March 13–22 and September 25–October 4, and it brings together professional dealers, antiques, flea finds, and art galleries all in one place. Foire de Chatou is one of those markets you could easily plan a trip around. Shopping at its most dangerous, really! #luxurytravel #cntraveler ...
