Friday French Favourites for this week is the Paris Flea Market. What a place! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint in the slightest. In fact the only problem I had with it was that we didn't have enough time to see it all, and we stayed about 5 or 6 hours! I had been told that it was a in a bit of a dodgy part of town so I got panicky and didn't take my DSLR which I was later kicking myself for. On the outskirts of the flea market they have stalls of knock-offs etc that probably had a bit of a dodgy element about it, but the actual vintage and antiques sections were not like that in the slightest. So the only photos I have are the ones I took with Mums point and shoot.
I didn't buy much there either, the prices, oh the prices! I think they spot the tourist a mile away and then add extra zeros or something! Anyway, we did come away with a few little pieces that will always remind us of that most fabulous of places, The Paris Flea Market.

Lovely things again.
We really needed more than one visit didn't we? Maybe next time!!!
I was trying to think of the guide's name at Tournon, was it Sidonie?
Love the little owl!
Oh my, those buttons! Beautiful. What are you going to use them for?
Oh, I think these ones will just get petted for a while! I just don't think I could ever use them!
