What Marché Dauphine is known for
A glass-roofed antiques hall opened in 1991 within Saint-Ouen's flea market, styled after Baltard's Les Halles; houses dealers in vintage furniture, jewelry, books, records and art, plus its own Galerie Dauphine.
Marche Dauphine sits inside the Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, the sprawling flea-market district on the northern edge of Paris whose trade traces back to 19th-century rag-pickers pushed out of the city center. Marche Dauphine itself is more recent: it opened in 1991 on the site of a former passage, in a large glass-covered hall built in the architectural style of Victor Baltard's 19th-century Les Halles market pavilions. Positioned at the start of rue des Rosiers, one of the flea market's main arteries, it brings together antique dealers, young craftspeople, record sellers, booksellers and art galleries under one roof. Its upper floor holds Galerie Dauphine, billed as the only dedicated exhibition gallery within the flea market, with a rotating program of shows. The hall has also hosted architectural curiosities, including the 2013 installation of Matti Suuronen's 1968 Futuro house under its glass roof.
