On Sunday we were exploring the 1st arrondissement and stumbled upon a marché aux puces (flea market!) in le Jardin des Halles, which I think was part of the Fête des Jardins last weekend. People had set up little tables or spread their odds and ends out on blankets completely lining the paths of the garden. Literally there was everything you can imagine, from leather bags, to odd jewelry, to old cameras, books, shoes, dollhouse furniture, you name it. In France you're not allowed to have yard sales, so a community will organize these vide grenier (literally empty attic) so that people can get rid of their junk (or treasures?). (Dad, you would love this).
