It’s Saturday, you’re looking around your room and you’re thinking to yourself, “Knick knacks. I need more of those. And tchotchkes. And also objets (not objeCts, objets).” Your next move? Hop on the Metro to the giant flea market near St Michel.

Flea market vanity find! (And my unmade bed. How embarassing.)

The market like a rabbit’s warren of amazing discoveries. Descend into a warehouse sectioned into tiny stalls selling pretty much everything imaginable, from furniture to accessories to VHS tapes of old seasons of Friends. From seriously cheap to very, very pricey, there’s a whole range of discoveries available. Want a leatherbound bible with a pressed flower from Jerusalem tucked inside? We can work that out for you. How about an old Big Brother and the Holding Company record with an R. Crumb designed cover for seven bucks? SURE, OF COURSE. A vanity? An Edwardian hair brush? A phonograph? Tintin board game? A snowsuit? Some old mugs? A bench? A bucket? You get the idea—it’s all here.

The flea is accessible from the St. Michel Metro stop, and there’s also parking. The scale of the place can get a little overwhelming, so come prepared and bring cash.

The flea is located at 3250 Cremazie Est.
