Flea Market Of Europe

Paris flea markets are amazing - strolled through alleyways and precincts near to Montmartre. Eclectic mix of jumble and antique furniture........ huge chandeliers /shops devoted to all eras of furniture/jumbles of clothes and hairpieces/stuffed animals and whacky dummies/shoes,dresses, coats,silverware you name it,, its there!! Umbrage taken a couple of times at sneaky shots but otherwise clicking happy
This woman wanted something, Bill was allocated to deal with it he he.. alas my french is nowhere near allowed to come out of my mouth - thought the dog was a fox but turned out just looks like one (cant remember its name)
