you sure captured the flavor of this marche MM. despite being ‘discovered’ by tourists and bloggers(who came first?), it’s still very much a little secret for residents of the 3e & 4e and people who work in the increasingly chic rue charlot.

have done the round of eats here over the years and i suggest next visit, go for the moroccan vegetable & lamb tajine. masarap!

m, had no idea… maybe it’s on the radar screens of far more people than I realized… I only saw the NY times 36 hour itinerary after we did our trip (I linked it in the main post above)!

le marais off the beaten path? really? i feel like after the tour and the louvre, it is one of the most touristy (and most boutique-y) areas of paris. not to mention the city’s not so unofficial gay capital! sort of like saying chelsea, soho, or the w. village is off the beaten path in nyc… maybe i’m speaking from an american perspective, but definitely it’s nearly on day 1 on many a guidebook/nytimes itinerary. nevertheless, yes, adorable area, 2nd only to canal st. martin as my personal fave in paris. the non-haussman architecture of le marais really sets it apart, so much more quaint, romantic, and ironically quintessentially french. have whiled away many a weekend day there, and plan to as well this weekend!

Artisan…open a market like that in Cebu…am sure it’ll have a market…I love markets like these…..
Strawberries on steroids made me laugh!!How big were they MM? On a trip to Germany,I saw really BBIIGGG strawberries and almost palm sized. Just one could be an entire dessert for three…THose must have been on steroids too…ha ha ha…I once was on bedrest for almost a month a a half and on steroids…after that I was puffed up–ha ha ha..thought I’d never lose the excess weight so I laughed cuz it reminded me of myself when I was on bed rest and steroids…ha ha ha…
