The market was set up in the boulevard's median, under the trees.
This is the view up the boulevard toward Montmartre and the iconic Sacré-Cœur basilica. I took the photo from across the train tracks on the rue de Rome before I even got to Batignolles, but I thought it would be a good way to end this series from that walk. I descended into the subway at the entrance you can see on the right, under the art-nouveau "Métropolitaine" sign designed by Hector Guimard over one-hundred years ago. Five stops to Charles-de-Gaulle/Etoile, transfer, then three stops to Trocadéro.
You can see that the city had begun to wake up by the time you finished your walk. And I love how those Parisian pigeons obedient use the crosswalk.
ReplyDeleteOh, there you go, that's the marché bio I mentioned in my comment a few days ago. I don't know why I can't figure out where in the 17th that other market street is.
ReplyDeleteAn acquaintance of mine visited Paris for the first time last February (when it snowed!), and stayed in a hipster/artsy hotel in the 17th, that had pretty good prices.
mitch, urban pigeons!
ReplyDeletejudy, google "marchés à Paris" or something similar and you can find lists of markets by arrondissement. Maybe you'll recognize it on a list!
