Marché d'Aligre - XV

Marché d'Aligre


The clock tower stands watch over the activities. 


I have bought fruit, vegetables, cheese, pastries, old keys, linens, books, sheet music, and watercolors of Paris landmarks... all right here within a two block area.  Even if you do not buy a thing the market scene is a delight to observe.  No matter the weather, the markets are always busy.


 Be sure to stop in one of the cafés for a warm beverage and a pastry.

  5. Visited this marché after most of the customers and vendors had left. Wish I had known about the linen dealers. Next time?

  6. I like shopping...even if I don't actually buy anything. Most of my friends think I'm strange.
