Happy birthday Paul Bert Serpette in Paris

For its 70th anniversary, the world’s largest flea market celebrated with style, drawing enthusiasts and collectors to its 350 antique stalls for a remarkable event! Blending elegance, art, gastronomy, and captivating entertainment, this celebration brought together icons of French culinary artistry: Alain Ducasse, Hugo Desnoyer, Gilles Verot, and Kaviari. Their talent added a refined touch to the festivities, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate.

A highlight of the anniversary was JR’s Inside Out Project, where guests could create a unique keepsake of the day. They posed for a giant portrait, which was then pasted on the market walls, transforming the space into a living art installation and unforgettable experience.

The event was a tribute to beauty and rarity, proving once again why the flea market remains a cultural treasure. To add even more magic, stilt walkers dressed all in white paraded elegantly, catching the eyes of visitors and bringing a whimsical, luminous presence to the celebration.

With its vibrant mix of antiques, art, and gourmet flair, this 70th anniversary event offered a glimpse into the timeless charm and excitement that make the flea market truly one of a kind.
