Marche aux puces

Went to the flea market this morning. Picked Vanves and not Clingancourt as I feel the smaller size makes it more friendly. Was similar to how it was 2 years ago but with much less art. A good price with minimal haggling is generally 50% of the first price. I can get that pretty quickly by pulling out 50% of first price in cash to show I'm serious and they have always taken it. Efficiency, tres bien. Today's take: silverware, art, candlestick holders.

Easter Sunday means tomorrow and Monday most everything will be closed up. Planning on heading to the African or Asian restaurants at that time.

Also went to Sacre Couer Basilica today and the neighboring fabric market. Completely jammed up in time for Easter.
