About OuChiner
OuChiner is the leading French platform entirely dedicated to treasure hunting: an interactive map that brings together the permanent addresses of antique dealers and flea marketeers, the agenda of flea markets and car-boot sales in France, and weekly email alerts personalised by town.
What OuChiner is
OuChiner is an independent French service. Its goal: to let any treasure hunter find, in a few seconds, the antique dealers and flea marketeers near them, or the flea markets coming up in their area — no sign-up, no advertising.
The platform aggregates official data from OpenAgenda and DATAtourisme, updated every 2 hours. Permanent addresses are enriched manually or by the professionals themselves through their shop area.

Business model
OuChiner is entirely free for treasure hunters — browse the map, the agenda and the shop listings without sign-up or subscription. Publishing events is also free for organisers.
The service is funded by the professional subscriptions offered to antique dealers and flea marketeers who wish to enrich their listing (photos, detailed opening hours, specialities, promotion). No advertising is shown on the platform.
Data sources
Events (flea markets, car-boot sales, antiques fairs) are aggregated from two official French sources:
- →OpenAgenda — A collaborative platform for cultural event listings in France
- →DATAtourisme — The national portal of open tourism data, run by the Offices de Tourisme de France
Permanent addresses are built from public data and enriched by the professionals themselves.
