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 |
