    I finally found the darn place. On my last trip I was pointed towards and outside flea market and missed the big one at St. Ouen completely. There are many difference sections. We went to the higher end one and this on Vernaison, which had more used stuff, bric a brac. Fun to walk around in. We did find some stuff. There was a tapistry place where we were able to get tapistries for about 50% of what they were in town and the museums. Household items, and artwork were plantiful. I ended up buying a painting. Apparently in other sections were clothing.


    What To Pay: A little or a lot.

    Directions: Be sure you head to the other side of the Paris traffic ring. And be careful as it is a little grungy down there.

    Lining the square were numerous artists. Some doing paintings and some doing drawings of those who wanted to pay and pose. Some of the work was very good. some of it very average.

    Just because most Parisians dress with style, doesn't mean you need to follow every style setter.

     I need to do the exact route from CDG to Les Chatelet with my 74 year old mother with knee problems. Could you tell me how many flights of stairs there are from buying the ticket to the actual B- line RER train stop at CDG?

     I like the way you write. Found your page most interesting ;-)

     A gem of a page, amusing reading and with an eye for off the beaten path detail. I stayed in the same area (hotel) and thus also ate (excellently) at Le Chien qui Fume. As for Beef Wellington, my suggestion would be Napoleon "Bone Aparte" hotpot.
