Visiting the flea markets of Lyon means getting the opportunity to acquire interesting things at low prices (this fact will appeal to collectors and tourists who are looking for something unusual and original in the form of curious vintage things).
Flea market Les Puces du Canal
The location of this flea market is Villeurbanne - - a suburb of Lyon: a considerable number of buyers come here early in the morning who want to buy copper products, accessories for the garden and home, dishes, glove dolls, textiles, books, paintings, toys from improvised counters. And here, if you wish, you can buy products that are sold by local winemakers. It should be noted that trade in this market is very active, and prices are able to please collectors and lovers of antiquity with their moderation.
Antique Market on Ave Brocante Stalingrad
It occupies a fairly large territory, and if your plans do not include the purchase of antiques, in any case, you should come here to look at the items exhibited here and get the opportunity to touch the past at least for a few minutes. As for the prices, they are relatively democratic, but it is worth considering that the cost directly depends on the “age” of the thing you like.
Other flea markets
You can find standing antiques by taking a walk around the Auguste Comte quarter (various shops and galleries are available to tourists).
A visit to Lyon is definitely worth planning for the beginning of October, when the annual Le Tapis Rouge Antique Festival is held here. At this time, it will be possible to acquire the best exhibits in local antique shops in the form of sculptures, handmade furniture, paintings by European painters, old ceramic vases.
Those who are interested in second-hand books can visit the Quai de la Pecherie - on weekends from 9 am to 8 pm second-hand booksellers put their goods here.
