La Braderie is known as Europe’s biggest flea market, drawing several million people every year to the center of Lille, where anyone can park on the pavement and be a hawker for a weekend. The atmosphere is lent a carnival feel with street performers and musicians entertaining the crowds. It’s best to park outside the city center, as the market sprawls outward, leaving cars trapped on the streets.
