Marche aux puce is the French term for a flea market, which is a popular concept globally. As the marketplaces evolved, different names got coined for them, such as jumble sales, bazaars, car boot sales, and swap meets. Jumble sales refer to an event where second-hand goods are sold for charity purposes. Bazaars are generally associated with Middle Eastern or South Asian marketplace traditions, and car boot sales are more Germanic. Swap meets signify a sense of exchanging, while flea markets highlight that items up for the sale are not necessarily rusty and infested with fleas. However, marche aux puce remains a trendy and specific terminology referring to shopping at a flea market in France.
