Un poulet svp

 

I have had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this delightful man since June, 2009.  I always stop by and say, "Bonjour" and he always welcomes me with a warm smile and delicious roasted chickens on rue Mouffetard.  I love reconnecting with wonderful Parisian friends when I visit.

UPDATE: Thanks to Jeff's comment and Alexa's help, I have connected with Christophe and his lovely wife Janice who is a talented writer and artist and blogger. You can follow her blog here!

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!

Never a Dull Moment

on rue Mouffetard. The market is humming from mardi-dimanche, unlike other street markets around Paris that are only open one or two days a week.  When we stayed in an apartement near here in the summer of 2009, we shopped here daily. We loved getting to buy fresh fruits and vegetables on our way home from the Mètro every day!

A special hello to the delightful couple that I met on Saturday at Do Dah Day. They told me they read this blog every day.  They renewed their vows at the beautiful Madeleine Church in Paris a few years ago and love Paris as much as I do! 

ET, ET, ET......

Well as my chère amie, Eiffel Tower Suzy says, "You just can't have enough."  My Eva and Davis felt the same way when we stayed near the rue Mouffetard market.   Melissa and I, in a few weak moments late in the afternoon, gave them a euro each and while we had a glass of wine at a nearby café, they shopped at the candy shop.  The owner helped them scoop up their choices and then carefully weighed their sacks.  What a grand way to spend a euro!
