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.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Stacey! Looks like you picked up some great inspiration for future art.
ReplyDeleteStacey, I remember the first time I went to Paris with my hubby and we walked right by this market but didn't walk into it. It looked interesting though.
ReplyDeleteI love that pic your husband took, very parisian artsy.
Such inspiration. In fact every where we went there was inspiration even in the most mundane things.
thanks for showing us your Paris visit!
