Back in the '60s this place was a real treasure trove, where even a poor kid (comme moi) could find—and afford—something fabulous.

But if you want to see some very high end antiques, this is the place! (I guess you survived the snow of England?)<br /><br />Léia -- I came to this particular market on this trip to get photos of the lamps overhead, the tree (huge) and the market windows.
