Q&A: Real Flea Market
Q: I’m visiting Montreal and would like to visit a “real” flea market.
A: There is an entire section in my “Smart Shopping Montreal” book which deals with Farmer’s Markets and Flea Markets (and another one with antique stores). .The one below is a real one. The St Michel metro stop is nearby.
Montreal North: Marche aux Puces St-Michel, 7707 Shelley at boul. St-Michel, side entrance of 3250 boul. Cremazie (514-721-7701). Open all year, Fri to Sun 9-5. This building with a 2nd floor is filled with stalls showcasing second-hand items and collectibles like housewares, lamps, toys, guitars & amps, kitchenware, vintage radios/sound equipment, records, jewelry and furniture.
