Being a Catholic country as France is – everything is closed on Sunday. I mean everything. So it is great that the Marche de Blvd de Grenelle is right across the street from my apartment.If there’s one type of vendor, there’s at least 6 more. Vegetable, fish, poultry, beef, cheese, and wine purveyors were mixed with kitchen utensil, clothing, and random item vendors. The Marche de Blvd de Grenelle is large and complete.
I picked up some flowers for the apartment to help liven up the place a bit.
In addition to this market the only other part of town that has any open stores and cafés on Sunday is Le Marias, the marsh. A Jewish neighborhood in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements.
On my way home I swung by the Arc de Triomphe and strolled a bit of the Champs Elysees (the 5th Avenue of Paris) with Carolyn.

ReplyDeleteI was a few days behind and just caught up with your blog.
ReplyDeleteWow! Impressive!
I thought you always looked a cute young kid.
Not anymore! in your Le Cordon Bleu uniform: still cute looking but a serious top notch chef look.
Definitely you’ve got the look to be THE top chef in town.
Go, Tony the better than the best chef in town!
Next time when I go to Paris, I like to rent an apartment instead of staying at hotel.
Sunday market sounds so good… with all the fresh foods…
