Matin au marché

Unlike many of Paris' street markets, this one on rue Mouffetard, is open almost every day. We stayed close by in 2009 and crossed this street at least twice a day going to and from the Censier-Daubenton métro. We loved shopping here and often stopped after for a glass of wine at a café to watch the shoppers and gain our strength to climb rue Claude Bernard to our flat. Eva and Davis usually got a euro each to spend at the candy vendor's. The highlight of their day!

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Your blog is so cool! Great photographs. Great way to see Paris from my part of the world. Thanks.
It all looks wonderfully healthy, dear V. I'd be treating myself to a euro of lollies as a reward.
I wish there were more outdoor markets here in NYC, especially outside of Manhattan...what a great way to plan your meals every day. :)
Best places to visit ...
J'adore la rue Mouffetard. Le Husband and I went to a local pub on our first [blind] date. I wonder if it is still there... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Haven't spent time on that street in many years but plan on going again when I'm in Paris at the end of this month. Love all the belles salades!
You come there with the idea of buying some thing, then you find an other one, and you go back home with a basket full of delicious things! :o)
Colorful open air market in Paris.

I would literally eat my way to school as I walked about 3 miles from my apartment. Ahhhh the simple joys of Paris. Paris, PLeASE, NEVER CHANGE!!!!!!!!! Anita
Wonderful to buy fresh produce right zere in the heart of Paris!
Bon weekend, V de B!
When I was in Paris , I spent so much time taking photo's of the
outside food stands, and window displays of candy shops and baleries.
Only the French have that special touch for display. You brought back fond memories.
Thanks, Yvonne
How much money did you get to spend on candy?
I love rue Mouffetard. I sat at the Cafe Mouffetard while the waitress crossed the street to get bread for my croque. Quintessential Paris. Tulips. Children with satchels. Candy.
Makes me want to have salad
"La Mouffe"! :-)
Beautiful produce! I would love to live nearby...instead of here in suburbia :(
On another note: That steel wall is now on display in the Guggenheim, Spain!
Very lively image, can 'smell' the atmosphere of Paris Marché!
Greetings,

Wonderful memories Virginia! Why is Paris so special I wonder. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Beautifully captured, V! I feel like I'm right there (instead of here at my desk, eating a boring lunch). So merci beaucoup, ma chère, et bon weekend!
Love the markets in France.
Mouffetard one of my all time favorites also !
Markets are always so much fun to wander with a camera in hand. Nice one, Virginia. Have a grand weekend, OK?
Love your new banner photo.
Fabulous market V ! I would shop here everyday too!
Love your new banner!!
As you know by now, this is a favorite place for me in Paris, especially on Sundays. I'd love to gather you all there with me one day.
V
Would love to go here!
Quand j'habitais Paris, j'allais toujours faire un tour le dimanche matin à la Mouffetard, j'ai toujours aimé cette ambiance sympathique de l'église jusqu'à la place de la Contrescarpe.
Moi j'étais du 14e arrondissement, il y avait là aussi un marché rue Daguerre qui était fabuleux, mais je ne peux pas vous dire comme il est aujourd'hui j'habite en Provence maintenant et là il y a de superbes marchés !
Merci pour les réminiscences.
