The Marche aux Fleurs, just two blocks from the apartment, was built in 1808. It's the largest flower market in Paris (and a bit run-down, but if you were 200 years old you might be a little run-down too!) Four long glass-roofed sheds house vendors who daily sell seeds, flowers (garden variety plus orchids), bedding plants, trees, gardening supplies, garden decor, etc. On Sundays it expands to include birds (from exotic to homing pigeons), bunnies, gerbils, etc. Sing along now: "you can get anything you want...."

| Something old, something new, something tacky, something oooooh |
