l'actrice en rouge

An actor in red...

Just outside Marché des Enfants Rouge, 

we walked upon a film scene as they were finishing for the day.

She was not posing or acting,

but just being herself.

Must be a French girl...

Le photographe -- Fabien Breuvart

Inside le Marché des Enfants Rouge is this delightful and talented photographer, Fabien Breuvart.

To see more of Fabien Breuvart enjoy this video in which he spoke of his art in 2007. He has been supportive of the sans-papiers using his art medium and it was reported here (in English) in septembre 2008. In novembre 2009 at Paris Photo 2009 he pulled this incredible stunt that captured the crowd -- You will love the video even if you do not speak French!

Oh yes, I do see that twinkle in his eye and think that we will hear much more from him.

Marché des Enfants Rouge

Much has been written by others about the oldest of the Paris food markets, le Marché des Enfants Rouge, first established in early 1600s (dates vary). The name originates with the red uniforms worn by the children of a nearby orphanage, created in 1534. (Virginia of Paris Through My Lens had another explanation.)

You can shop for antiques, art, and brocante or you can buy the fresh produce for your evening meal. You can discover delicious (and affordable) Japanese, Moroccan, West African and Greek offerings in the food stalls -- crêpes as well!

It is situated in the northern Marais with two entrances, one at 39, rue de Bretagne and the other one around the corner on the narrow Rue de Charlot.
