paris part two

Friday night we had a great dinner at Au Passage.  We didn't have a reservation but thought we would try our luck anyway.  Corner seats at the bar, as we sipped and enjoyed our small plates we watched the bartender prepare the cheese plates and had a great view of the entire restaurant.

After dinner we headed to La Fine Mousse, one of the better beer bars in Paris.

Despite finishing up a late night at la fine Mousse Marco had us stick to our word of waking up at 7am to head to north Paris to the Le Puces market.  Lets just say I was a little worse for wear.  Add that to my not-so-morning-person-self and then bring in chipper morning Marco.  I'm all, "you should have been in the military." (I say this often to him in the mornings.) I repeatedly call him military man while getting ready.  And he just continues to laugh and hustle me along.

Even with many of the market stalls closed due to less foot traffic in the winter, I'd say we only saw 1/3 of it before we got market fatigue.  It is huge people. 

A few pictures below from the apartment street in the early morning and some serious market stalls.
