Marché aux Puces de Montreuil, a traditional flea market

The Marché aux Puces de Montreuil (Flea Market), established in 1860, is also known as the Marché aux Puces de la Porte de Montreuil. It indeed stretches between the Porte de Montreuil and the Porte de Bagnolet, making it directly accessible from the eastern ring road of Paris (périphérique).
