About
France is home for Leigh. Living 15 years there, she raised her boys at the French school Lycée International in St. Germain en Laye. Having three nationalities, Swiss, American, and French, she feels very much at home in Europe. Raised in a household where art and antiques was a passion, her mother opened an antique shop and her father brought in art from around the world to their local art center.
With a passion for French "objet d’art" and furniture, she has for 15 years consulted buyers and lectured at different associations and groups about purchasing at the Marché aux Puces.
The Marché aux Puces, located at Porte de Clignancourt was officially created in 1885. It’s considered the largest antique/objet d’art and second-hand shop in the world. The Marché aux Puces is an 18-acre labyrinth of 14 distinct markets where you can shop your heart's desire for art treasures. You'll enjoy the trendy brasseries dotted throughout the markets where you can relax and enjoy authentic French food.
As your guide to the Puces, I can navigate you with an experienced eye to your treasures, negotiate with the dealers for you, and organize your shipping. Feel free to email or call me so we can plan your best experience of your visit to the Marché aux Puce.

About your experience-
We meet at the Marché Biron at 9 am. You will be guided to the areas of your preferences specified by your questionnaire. Once there, I will introduce you to the specific dealers who work with your preferred art / architectural needs. We will break for lunch at a French-inspired bistro that features French impersonators. After lunch, our explorations resume, and the treasure hunt continues. I will lead you back to the Marché Biron by 5 pm.
Delivery, shipping, and packaging costs will be at your own expense. Any additional negotiations by me will be billed to you accordingly.
All transportation to and from the Marché Biron is your responsibility.
