Things we will miss about Paris: Market Shopping

So the produce is not exactly from the farm (it all comes from Rungis one way or another), but there seems to be a greater variety and on average slightly better prices, especially for fresh fish. We also loved the flower stand, where at the end of the market day we could get a huge triple bouquet of leftovers for 5 euros...

We usually would go to the closest market to us (Marché Maubert), but once in a while we would hike to the Marché Place d’Aligre, which truly has the best prices in Paris (think 3 mangoes for 1 euro; kilo of Moroccan figs for 1 euro; a bunch of artichokes for 2 etc.)

Maia and Kai, all of these pictures are delightful, I really enjoy all of them, but the little kangaroo with the trainer is my favorite. Now I can tell you what I am missing in my life; not spending enough time with people I love- where are you? Come back Neumann's family.

Hi Guys ...

I understand you are now in the Big Smoke - would really love to meet up with you at some stage - I live and work in South London so the weekend would probably be the best time ...
