Friday at the "Flea"

Technically what we attended today is called Brocante de Antiquites. It
Is the massive 10 day antique faire held in Paris every November. I
feel so happy we were here for it. It flanks both sides of the canal
near the Bastille. You can find everything from old egg cups to Louis
XIV divan chairs, plastic cupids to marble busts of laughing French
maidens.
The food is in a league of it's own. Booths are scattered through out
where you can taste wine, eat oysters, sample sausage. There is a
stall that serves the most delicious vin chaud brewed in huge copper
vats on a small gas stove.
We ate in a beautiful little tent that was serving wonderful food on
china plates with real silver and glassware and ofcourse quantities of
good red wine.
My beloved Alameda Flea can never live up to this.
