Like Gaul, the Clignancourt cluster of markets may be divided into three parts: the funky/weird/ interesting, the over-priced antiques and collectibles (mostly in small shoppes), and the crap under tents and awnings that you can see in any market in the less affluent areas. We visited Clignancourt in 2014, I think, although I can find no blog posts on it. Anyhow, we visited again, enduring a long bus ride out and back, on Sunday, September 26.

| In the biggest/best vintage clothing store ever, so far |

Worst Academy Award-winning movie ever;

My patience for all the Louis XXIII and 5th Empire Strikes Back
furniture and such is pretty limited; but Vicki says it was really
pretty good, varied, better than what we saw in London; but she
doesn't take many pix |

My one photo from the crap precinct: for decades I
have been predicting that leisure suits will be back;
here, we are getting pretty close... |
