Hello

I was in Paris few days ago. Ah, I would have liked to stay !
Anyway, if I could go back, I would go to these places (all these websites have an english version):
-More than 100 antique shops grouped together in the downtown, LEFT bank of the Seine river :

-Another group of antique shops grouped in the downtown, on the RIGHT bank of the Seine river :
http://www.louvre-antiquaires.com/
-The biggest antique market in the world, thousands of shops grouped together, in the close suburbs of Paris. The market is also called the Flea Market of Saint-Ouen :

- All the addresses of the tribal art galeries grouped in the same area and that are going to organize a common event in autumn :
http://www.parcours-des-mondes.com/
-The auctions center of Paris and France, in the Hotel Drouot building. In this building, everyday many auctions sales. Go and see, everything on sale is first exhibited there :

-The Army Museum in the superb Invalides Monument (with a beautiful church where inside are exhibited all the flags won on the battlefields by the French army)
http://www.invalides.org
- the middle-age museum of Paris :
http://www.musee-moyenage.fr
- Impossible to avoid if you are an amateur, one of the biggest museum in the world for primitive art :
http://www.quaibranly.fr
- The Louvres has also a permanent exhibit of 100 masterworks of primitive art :

YOU'LL NEED A LIFE IN PARIS TO VISIT ALL THESE PLACES.
AND THIS IS ONLY A FRACTION, GOOD LUCK !

Best
