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 |
