What is a Flea Market? According to Albert LaFarge's article in the 1998 winter edition of Today's Flea Market magazine, "There is a general agreement that the term "Flea Market" is a literal translation of the French marche aux puces, an outdoor bazaar in Paris, France, named after those pesky little parasites . . . that infested the upholstery of old furniture brought out for sale. Today, Flea Markets offer ambitious buyers the opportunity to unearth treasures that might have otherwise gone untouched for decades. The thrill of the hunt is in large part what flea markets are all about!
