The French and their shopping trolleys... market day!

Yes indeed, all the French have a shopping trolley when they go to the market. They come in all colors (the trolleys, that is !) and if you miss one, you probably stumble over a little French madam.



Jayne nearly wanted to purchase...... I guess not!

Today was a nice Sunday out visiting two markets; The first one in the 15th arrondisement, near the Dupleix station and the other one near Bastille.



On our way back, we stopped to buy tea at the 'Marriage Freres'. Very nice shop. We also stopped at the Centre Pompidou and had lunch here at La Dame Tartine. Very nice place, good food and a very gay waiter!


After visiting the Notre Dame, see pics, we walked to St.Germain for coffe and beer. Jayne wanted to buy macaroons at Laduree, but it was too busy. People were waiting outside, so instead we went to a nearby cafe. After our drinks we went home on the metro and bought a baguette for tomorrow morning.












And do I look French like zis ?

Tomorrow, 9.30. First day at school. Looking forward to it !
