It was Sunday, we were feeling game and thought we'd try two more of the "spring cleaning" street markets like the one we did in St. Germain the week before...one out in the 17th, on Boulevard Batignolles, the other in the 14th, on Avenue Reille, next to Parc Montsouris...nearly opposite ends of the city...something like 27 stops on the bus, but a great incidental tour of the city...
|
The whole thing ran a couple blocks, two aisles, in the median of Boulevard Batignolles |
|
Another beautiful spring day |
|
Vintage collection; there were many of these but I hesitated taking too many pix... |
|
Nice Holbein copy; the owner cracked up when I asked to take a photo |
|
In the helmet store |
|
Sword and walking stick shoppe |
|
Lighting shoppe; about as many pros as families at this vide grenier |
|
Definitely will walk all over you... |
|
More lighting |
|
No strings attached |
|
Nice Guimard Metro station entrance; but we took the bus |
|
Now on Avenue Reille in the 14th, along the border of Parc Montsouris |
|
There must be hundreds of thousands of old and not so old cameras for sale in Paris...victims of advancing technology |
|
Nice jewelry display, with abundant qualifications, assurances |
|
Great grand-mere's wedding dress? |
|
Model of a Heinkel HE111...swastikas and iron crosses removed; they once flew in the skies above |
|
No end to the cameras, including antiques |
|
It was a smaller market, and after a stroll through the park (next post), we headed on to our next destination; on the way, today's micro niche market shoppe, the almond milk store |
|
And by the bustop, this interesting old art nouveau, in need of some care |
