ABOUT THE TRIP

SPRING 2026: March 4 - 9
FALL 2026: September 23 - 28
$4,200

There are no bones about it: geared to design professionals, the itinerary is fast-paced but we promise you’ll love it. We will cover a twice-yearly antiques fair located outside of Paris where we’ll help you sift through a fabulous selection of antiques, lighting and art. We’ll introduce you to some of our favorite and most trusted vendors at Paris’s iconic flea market, Les Puces. We'll visit world-renowned fabric and textile showrooms. We’ll also go off the beaten path to experience a delightful street market where you’ll find collectibles, fabulous art and smalls.

Being retailers ourselves, we’ll advise you on pricing, quality, provenance and resale value. We translate when necessary and negotiate on your behalf with the vendors. Most important, we handle all aspects of shipping your goodies back to Atlanta, including documenting your purchases, receiving them here in Atlanta and preparing them for pickup or delivery to you. We also coordinate an escrow account on your behalf that you’ll use to send funds to us and our shipper.

Unlike some of our other trips, we don’t build in additional time to sightsee or visit attractions in Paris but we will provide a list of our favorite spots for retail shopping, museums and restaurants.

Cost: $4,200

includes four days of our guided Huff Harrington expertise to the Paris flea market (two locations) and a twice-yearly antiques fair. We’ll welcome you to beautiful Paris with bubbles and dinner on our first night and one of our lunches will be on us. And we always end our trips with a fun and festive dinner.

This trip does not include airfare, airport transfers or accommodations, but we will happily recommend trusted hotels or Paris Perfect vacation rentals.
