Will be 35 degrees today and already very hot this morning. Had planned to go to the flea market / marché aux puces this morning and Chateau de Vincennes this afternoon but because of the heat, will be going to the market this morning for a few hours and then stay out of the heat at the appt this afternoon.
The flea market was interesting. On the peripherary you find street merchants selling clothes, CD's and other low priced items. It is a very festive atmosphere, very crowded, with all ethnic groups. In the official markets you find all of the "antique" furniture, ceramics, etc. I thought I could pickup something for 100 Euros but everything I saw and liked was around 500 to 800 Euros. A little pricey for a whim purchase.
In the early evening, still very hot, took ligne 1 to Chateau Vincennes. Couldn't go inside but interesting walk around the exterior. After, a walk around the Hotel de Ville, Plages de Paris, Pyramide du Louvre and the Fun Fair along Rue de Rivoli/Tuileries.
