Marché du Sablon
This is perhaps the most upscale market in the city and specializes in antiques and rare books. The antiques dealers who set up here are established and well-recognized, and you don’t have to worry too much about being tricked as far as an object’s origin. The rare book stalls have some real treasures on offer, though most people come here in search of antiques and collectables. There is always a wide variety, and the selection changes from week to week.
