Marché aux puces Saint-Ouen

Metro'd out to Porte de Clignancourt for an afternoon of wandering around the flea market at Saint-Ouen.  Perfect day for it - overcast but dry.  Allées of vintage treasures, grouped together to make it easy for those with a specific item in mind - toys, furniture, art, wooden frames, lace and buttons, vintage clothing, china, glassware and brass - and everything in between!  We love it here - we wear ourselves out, stop for lunch, and then hit the allées again.

One area of the market specialises in secondhand vinyl, and Monsieur is excited to have picked up, amongst other goodies, a David Bowie rarity - a 7" French pressing of Drive-In Saturday with a club cover.  I found the perfect gift for the wonderful couple who take care of our cats while we're on holiday.  Successful day at the puce, I say!
