Marché aux Fleurs et Oiseaux (flower & bird market)


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.

(this colorful photo was taken by my talented husband, by the way)

I hope you enjoyed our morning out. Click here for a fun 360 degree view of the market from 360cities.net (a very cool site).


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