Marche D'Aligre And Rue De Nice

On another day off, we visited the Marche d'Aligre, over near our old neighborhood in the 11th, and even stopped by to see our old haunts.



Marche d'Algre is really three or four markets in one: a street of
fruits and veggies, a square with clothes, brocante, and books, and 
a covered market of meat and seafood and specialty items; the
neighborhood abounds in other food stores, bakeries, cafes, and so on

Helpful map of the Marche Beauvau, the covered
market

Pheasant

Lotte, aka monkfish, aka poor man's lobster; the fish I use in
bouillabaisse; texture and taste close to lobster; unusual in the
USA

More giant shrimp

Specialty beer shop; no Westvleteren; not that it was expected

Specialty tripe shop

Have to like this neighborhood

Wood-working, refinishing shop

Belle Epoque fixer-upper

Rue Charonne "open book" I thought of as a landmark

Our old building on Rue de Nice; nothing special, but home for
three months

Entry, we think

Nothing in the entire neighborhood seems to have changed at all
in the seven years since we lived there
