The Cold Marketplace

Paris in less than two days - Episode 3

Our team was happy to find a nifty Parisian market just down the street from our hotel. Although we were tired and hungry on our first afternoon in Paris, we were spellbound by the various souvenirs, funky clothing and culinary delicacies in the outdoor market.

Dave could be seen making deals on various headgear as we had our first experience dealing in Euros. Despite the cold, the market was busy, especially with people buying bread. As the market stretched on for several blocks underneath the Metro, I marvelled at the high quality of the fresh produce, the bountiful supply of fresh seafood and the scrumptious looking pastries.

For our group, this was a great way to begin our odyssey in Paris, to fight the crowd a bit amongst all the vendors in the French marketplace. Our cross cultural experience had begun, and it was wonderful.
