Letter slot, Montreuil-sur-Mer, France.
Within the past two weeks, I've received numerous emails asking about dates for the Antiquites Brocante at Place de Bastille, Paris. The popular brocante along both sides of the Canal St. Martin will begin on Thursday, May 7 and continue daily through May 17. Tickets at eight euros each may be purchased at the door.
Take the Paris Metro to Bastille or Quai de la Rapée, via lines 1, 5 and 8. Or take bus lines 20, 29, 65, 87 or 91. Paid parking is available at Opéra Bastille or Sogéparc, Boulevard de la Bastille.
Hi Tara,
This made me smile. The picture is beautiful - and perfect for this post! And I'll be visiting Paris from Tokyo from May 2-8, just in time for the Bastille Brocante. I can't wait! :-)

Hi Tara,
I left a comment earlier but I'm not sure it worked as my computer froze up when I left the comment... anyway, just in case it didn't work, I wanted to write a quick note to say Thanks for the details and that I'll post your tip on the Diva site (along with a few of your credited pics from Bastille brocantes of years past) if it's okay with you. I'm so bummed by the way, I'll be in Paris this weekend and will miss the upcoming brocante. So close... yet so far!
All my best,
Toma
