A market in Paris

Another post that's been hanging around since January 2006.

A crisp Sunday morning in Paris, sun shining low in the January sky, a market in Rue Mouffetard, buying pommes "La Ratte en Le Touquet" for 3.95€/kg (supposedly the best salad potatoes available according to Joel Robuchon) artichokes 5€, olives with pigeons pooing on them from the telephone wires above. This is the location in the film "Amelie" where the toy box with the tin car is found in the telephone box. The telephone box isn't really there. A few yards away lies Le Boulanger de Monge selling some of the best bread in Paris (Boule Bio 500Gr for €2.30), the baker's mobile phone white with flour as he worked in view of the window.
