Two More Street Markets

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
