I did a short morning walk further up Anthony's street (Rue Montmartre), which was very attractive with themed paving, great streetscapes and landscaping. We spent most of the day up at Marche au Puces de St-Ouen, the largest market in France (likely the world) at 5ha. It's quite historic and chock full of 'stuff'. Totally awesome. Art Deco vs Louis XIV furniture; reconditioned jukeboxes; aircraft part-furniture; art; bric-a-brac galore and every chandelier possible. Then we flaneured around Saint Germain, checked out one of the oldest churches in Paris and came back via the Seine and Louvre courtyards. Quite hot today. Bit pooped.
