The Ordinary and/or Economical
-- Paris Cheap
My favorite souvenirs from my 1996 Paris trip are my photos of the wildlife at the Clignancourt Flea Market/Marché aux Puces.*
People-watching at French Marche aux Puces is just as fun for me as at American flea markets. Once past Clignancourt's Jim Morrison and Bob Marley wall hangings, military surplus, and into theMarché Brion (corner Rue des Rossiers) and the Paul Bert Market, (16 rue Paul Bert) there was treasure after treasure. Heady ANTIQUES and delightful brocante. Tight-budgeted, I couldn't do much but be enthralled by the goodly stuff, but enthralled I was. I have memories of the experience and photos. We also have a COOL worn leather jacket, a vintage violet (our daughters' middle names are both Violet) postcard written in French, and some vintage stamps purchased for a pittance.
I'm strange, but as far as I'm concerned, a non-Souvenir is the best souvenir.
Here what you have happened upon is my shopping place and nearby-points-of-interest itineraries for my next Paris adventure. I shall print this out for myself and put it in my small backpack/purse. And perhaps, if you are as strange as I (and cheap, and interested in Sarah Bernhardt ), perhaps, just perhaps, this page might be of value to you, too.

CHEAP SNOOZESI'm cheap. Formule 1 is the only place I can afford to stay,
but if I had more money, I'd probably stick with them.
In Paris, for us, the St. Denis location is the best.
