If you read our review of our time with Genevieve on the Paris tour, you can rightfully assume we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Marche Aux Puces with her as well. We had never been to the world's largest flea market before, but while we knew we wanted to go, figured it could be overwhelming without the company of an experienced hand. Genevieve turned our trip through the market(s) into a fun, productive and informative day that might have been overwhelming had we tried it on our own. She not only knows her way around the entirety of the market, is able to point out the vendors with unique offerings, but also knows a number of them. She shared some in-depth stories, and negotiated on our behalf with vendors far better than we could have with our limited command of French. All in all a wonderful day.

Genevieve was absolutely fabulous. She communicated with us well ahead of time to get the best idea of how we wanted to spend out time at the flea market and what we were most interested in seeing. She had great recommendations and tons of insider knowledge. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with Genevieve.

Genevieve created a wonderful tour for our group of 4 seasoned travelers. We had been to Paris several times but never to Saint-Ouen’s. We would never have been able to discover the shops Genevieve knew intimately. From Chanel to silver to fabric, we enjoyed it all. She was flexible as we continued to add new things to see and managed to keep us all together. Can’t recommend her enough.

Genevieve was incredible. We brought our 9 month old baby on the tour, and she was SO nice to her. She watched her while we looked in stalls at the flea market, and treated all of us like family. High recommend this guide!

It does not possible to completely explore a place without a helpful tour guide who knows everything about the place. We were very lucky to have someone like you who was so knowledgeable.

AMAZING tour! So sorry we didn't do this on our first trip to Paris. Plus Genevieve went above and beyond. She went with us to the train station to pick up our rental car. When we found out we needed our passports to get the car she went with my husband to our hotel, came back t9 the rental car place and made sure we drive safely to our hotel. If I lived here, she would be my best friend!
