On Wednesdays and Sundays until about 3 p.m. the Grenelle neighborhood outdoor market is open for business. Regional specialties reign and the variety is over-the-top. Head for the big copper cauldron of freshly prepared aligot (a caloric dish of mashed potatoes and fresh tomme cheese from Averyon). Paella, bubbling stews, Moroccan grilled sandwiches, rotisseried chickens…
Big expansive murals, detailed mosaics, blaring neon messages in every language, an outdoor museum like no other in Paris. A street worth perusing just around the corner from the Belleville metro. Photographers will have a field day here. This multi-cultural neighborhood is worth exploring just for the Tunisian, Chinese, Vietnamese, African, Ethiopian, Moroccan restaurants alone.…
Parisians can be kind, amusing, remarkably arrogant, friendly, insightful, blunt, stubborn, judgmental. . . dismissive, opinionated, philosophical. . . and oh so spontaneous and unbashful when it’s the right time to show affection!
From runway to street style, whatever you’re wearing, be sure they’re comfortable if you’re a tourist and want to make tracks. Practicality goes out the window if you’re a fashionista.
