Your Art & Antiques Connection to France French Links Tours offers personalized art and antiques buying service for both groups and individuals to the Paris Flea Market, as well as to other antique shows and shops around Paris.
We can also arrange for one-day buying trips to antique fairs in Lyon and the South of France, including Avignon and Isle sur la Sorgue. Our clients include some of the leading decorators and antique dealers in the United States, as well as private collectors.
Our aim is to provide our guests access to "only the best" whether it's in Old Masters, in fine contemporary painting and sculpture, fine collectibles, provençal, 18th-century Rococo or 20th-century Art Deco. We are available to accommodate every taste and every need, as well as every passion.
Because of our relationships with dealers, we have access to warehouses of antiques that are not normally shown to the public. We can show you where the deals are, and we can also buy antiques on request if you send us photos.
We have helped people purchase a Rouen faience fountain they had been seeking for over 10 years, an antique Morse code machine in solid brass, as well as helped furnish an estate in Birmingham, Alabama with a container load of furniture, paintings, and objets d'art collected from all over France.
Just this year alone, we furnished an entire apartment on Park Avenue, working with the acclaimed American decorator Scott Sanders.
French Links Flea Market tours have been featured on both the Home & Garden Cable TV Network on the Fine Living Network’s show "The Best for Less."
Our Guides
We work only with trained, experienced guides, who are either university-educated native English speakers or French national guides who speak flawless English. Both have the people skills to make Americans and other English-speakers feel at home in France. Our multilingual guides also have fluency in Spanish, Italian, Russian, German and Chinese, both Mandarin and Cantonese.
Our Buying Policy
We not only negotiate for our clientele, obtaining reductions of 20% (and often more), but it's our strict policy to never take commissions from any dealer in France. We, therefore, remain completely independent and honest, only beholden to the needs and desires of our customers.
Our Shipping Arrangements
We also handle all shipping arrangements, from point-of-purchase to delivery at your front door, depending on your needs and wishes.
This means taking on all the necessary details in paperwork, including insurance, customs, and so forth, thus taking all the hassle out of purchasing and shipping from abroad.
We only work with the best shippers - who normally handle antiques for Bloomingdale's and other major department stores, as well as for embassies in Paris.

French Links Tours and British Links Tours are not responsible for any loss or injury incurred before, during and after the tour. We strongly advise you to purchase travel insurance prior to departure and check with your physician on your travel plans if you have chronic health problems.
