May the 15th: Flea Markets!!!!

I had been waiting patiently to do this ever since we arrived in Paris. Flea Markets! Chelly had gotten direction to one of the biggest markets in Paris and after some slight confusion with Paris public transit, we were there. The Marché Pouces de Sainte Ouen, in all its glory. So. Much. Stuff. 

 Imma and Chelly wandering through the markets.
 
We spent many, many hours looking through the antique photographs. My personal favorites were the many cabinet cars of Parisian monuments and tourist destinations, two of which I did splurge on and purchase. One is of the  Marché Pouces de Sainte Ouen, with a few small hints of human life blurred into the foreground, the other is of the Arc de Triomphe with some clear examples of human life. I am also the proud owner of some French, 70s porn. Because why not? I think the only downside of the market is that my knees were already hurting enough from the cathedral, hiking around the market, didn’t help much.
