L'artiste - Marché de la Création Bastille

I met artist Didier Léspagnol on 14 juillet 2009 as I wandered the streets of the Marais.  He was selling his prints at Place des Vosges that day.  He was quite charming.  I bought 6 prints.  I have photos to prove it here.  Each trip I seem to find him there or on Saturdays at the Marché de la Création Bastille on boulevard Richard Lenoir.  It's the largest open air art market and open year round 10-7.  Today a look at Didier's stall.  If you happen to meet him one day, buy some prints. Tell him I sent you.

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!
