Why it belongs in ORBIS
Antiques market within the Saint-Ouen flea market, marking its centennial in 2025, specializing in 18th-century furniture and 19th-century paintings along rue des Rosiers.
Marché Biron is one of the historic markets within the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, the large Paris flea market complex, located at 85 rue des Rosiers / 120 avenue Michelet in Saint-Ouen. The market marked its centennial in 2025, placing its founding around 1925, and describes itself as covering multiple periods of art and furniture history — from 18th-century furniture through 19th-century painting and beyond — through a collection of individual galleries and dealer boutiques rather than a single retailer.
It operates year-round, Friday through Monday including August and holidays, and has added contemporary touches to its century-old footprint: a restaurant called Chez Tata Biron, a virtual tour on its website, and a podcast series featuring opera singer Natalie Dessay discussing pieces found at the market. It is reachable via Paris metro lines 13, 4 and 14, plus bus and tramway lines.
Marché Biron is a multi-dealer shopping destination, not a single shop with one inventory.
