About OuChiner
OuChiner is the European platform devoted entirely to bargain hunting, born in France and still rooted there: an interactive map that gathers the permanent addresses of antiques shops and second-hand shops, the calendar of flea markets and car boot sales, and weekly email alerts personalised by town.
What OuChiner is
OuChiner is an independent French service. Its goal: to let anyone find, in a few seconds, the antiques shops and second-hand shops 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 shoppers — browse the map, the calendar 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 second-hand dealers 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.
