This is Paris's coolest flea market – here's why it's a must-visit
French style – whether it's fits, furniture or trinkety things – is the definition of chic. But you won't find the best gems in mega-chain stores or fast fashion shops: you'll find them with a good old rummage in a flea market. As you'd expect, Paris is full of flea markets, and it can be tricky to decipher which are the biggest, best and when they're all trading – that's why we've just updated our brilliant roundup. So, what's our favourite flea market in Paris? It's Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen! But calling it just a market wouldn't really be fair. As our Time Out Paris writer Alix Leridon puts it, 'Marché aux puces de Saint-Ouennot … is like a whole other world.' This place is pretty huge – and famous, too (it features in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris). Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen actually comprises twelve covered markets and five different shopping streets, spread over no less than seven hectares. Dauphine Market is the biggest of the bunch, and is also arguably the prettiest and most eclectic (so head here if you're browsing and not after anything specific). It's nestled under the glass roof of the main hall, and to find it look out for Futuro House (the massive, orange saucer-shaped spaceship thing). This place has been open since 1991, and today is home to around 150 different sellers. You'll find seventeenth and eighteenth-century antiques alongside stalls selling vinyls, prints and clothes. If you're book-shopping, head to the Passage – that's the place to be for rare editions and retro copies of classic works and lovely art books, as well as enough postcards to fulfill your wildest collector dreams. But there's plenty more than that to explore at this super-flea. Have a read about it in more detail on our page here. Check out our roundup of the best flea markets in Paris.

The 15 food capitals of the world right now, revealed
What are the culinary capitals of the world? We have some ideas: our annual list of the world's best cities for food is based on a survey of 18,500 locals, who all shared their take on the quality and affordability of their city's dining scene. While we think locals know best, Japanese rail ticket provider JR Pass has carried out some pretty comprehensive research to unveil its own ranking of the world's best food cities – it wouldn't hurt to look, would it? The study evaluated everything from the number of five-star restaurants, Michelin-guide spots, food-based attractions and national dishes to the Global Food Security Index and the average meal price for two, crowning (drum roll, please) Paris as the foodie champion. No, we aren't shocked either. The French capital has more Michelin-guide and five-star rated restaurants than any other city on the ranking, proudly serves a whopping 12 national dishes and averages a fairly reasonable £58.85 for a two-person meal. Want to know our favourite food spots in the French capital? Time Out Paris has roundups of the best cheap eats, veggie spots, bistros, romantic spaces, brunch stops and top restaurants overall – tuck in. In second place was Athens, and in third place was Tokyo, but the likes of Ljubljana, Seoul and Reykjavik also made this ranking. Read on for the top 15. These are the world's 15 top foodie capitals, according to JR Pass Paris Athens Tokyo Zurich Amsterdam Prague Brussels Dublin Madrid Ljubljana London Seoul Copenhagen Reykjavik Riga Fill your boots with more food news Whether it's news of a new Aperol spritz index or snaps from the World Food Photography Awards, a shiny new list of the best pizzerias, or the best restaurants on the planet overall, we can bet Time Out's travel news page will keep you satisfied.
