Market in Neuilly

I was lucky enough to do an all day workshop at one of Chanel's buildings in Neuilly (west part of the greater Paris region) today on conversational english, which basically meant that I got paid to talk in english all day. It was very interesting and I feel like I learned almost as much as my students did.

Anyway during my lunch break I took a walk around Neuilly as I love to explore the neighbourhoods that I work in to see parts of Paris that the tourists miss. I came across a market where people buy their groceries fresh daily and was very impressed by the quality of goods being offered by the merchants. So I took a couple of pictures to share with everyone. Enjoy!

The fruits and vegetables looked impecable.


Fresh fish if it suits you.

Or a whole chicken, complete with the head!

There were other birds for sale as well, looking pretty fresh as they still had their feathers. Yes, that's Thumper on the right, fur and all. Thankfully his head was covered with foil so no children were traumatized.

And finally I saw this in the Metro on the way home. This picture is especially for Mark!!!
