Grenelle Market in the 15th

I can never get away from Paris 

without taking some photos of our 

fabulous Grenelle Market.

It's our favorite...

partly because it's close to home 

but also because it's large (several blocks long)

and runs under the metro so somewhat protected from the weather. 

And they tend to have a large array of fresh or cooked things to choose from. 

There are always colorful flowers in any season.

Fresh produce and dairy all times of the year

sometimes coming from nearby countries.

And containers filled with plenty of exquisite seafood. 

While I don't do much dairy anymore

I can't miss the cheese when in France. 

It is magnificent

even just to look at. 

I love the Christmas colors of these cheeses 

during the holidays. 

We didn't have as much time as we wanted this visit

to just wander through and people-watch.

We were usually in a hurry and on a mission.

But however you do it, 

it is a gift and a feast 

any way you look at it. 

Hope you enjoyed this Walk in Paris today.

Paris Market Tarts and Spring Flowers

Missing these gorgeous tarts from our

Grenelle Open Air  Market in Paris. 

In fact, I'm missing just about everything about spring and Paris right now.

I am flat on my back with a disc issue and nerve pain

and scrolling/strolling through the many photos of

spring in Paris on Instagram. 

Everybody is posting stunning and tantalizing photos

of blooms in luscious colors all over Paris.

If you're on Instagram and interested in seeing them,

here is a list of a few of the Paris photogs I follow:

Hope you are enjoying spring wherever you are!
