travels: paris, the bird and flower markets

Every Sunday, just east of Notre Dame next to the Isle de la Cite metro stop… you will find the Paris Bird and Flower markets.The flower markets are a permanent fixture although I’m not sure they are open every day.

The bird market is a Sunday morning only thing.I suppose in a city without Petsmart type big box stores, buying your regular supplies for your pet parakeet requires a bit more planning. I didn’t see any more unusual birds than you would find at a pet shop in the US. Except maybe the chickens. (Can you find one?)

I did see some unusual people.

I was impressed that she could ride a scooter in heels and a mini skirt – with a bird. I half kill myself on scooters – even with a helmet and sensible shoes.
