Article History

Saint-Ouen, town, northern industrial suburb of Paris, Seine–Saint-Denis département, Île-de-France région, north-central France. It is bounded to the northwest by the Seine River, along the banks of which are vast docks. Saint-Ouen contains in its southeastern section, north of the Porte de Clignancourt Métro (subway) station, the picturesque Marché aux Puces (Paris flea market), which is much visited by tourists. The flea market also attracts Parisians in search of bargains in furniture, curios, and antiques. The suburb is a centre for liqueur distilling, the electrical industry, automobile construction, and the manufacture of machine tools. Pop. (1999) 39,722; (2014 est.) 47,432.
