The Marché aux Fleurs (on the l'Île de la Cité, Paris) has been operating since 1808.
Seven days a week you can find all manner of flowers, trees & other greenery for sale.
Visit on a Sunday to take in the famous bird market.
You'll also find all sorts of small creatures. We spotted rabbits, turtles, fish and even a tarantula.
The guys have been asking for pet chickens for the past year. Here is Little Dude trying to figure out how to hide a couple of very noisy roosters in his suitcase.
He also begged for a song bird, but we stuck with flowers.

Best wishes to you - hope you have a wonderful week!
