Rue Cler market

One of my favorite things about Paris is being able to shop at open-air markets. Now, in all honesty I usually end up doing most of my grocery shopping at Monoprix, which is roughly the equivalent of a SuperTarget and about as un-chic as it gets. However, I still like to go to markets and pretend to be all sophisticated and Parisian, imagining the fabulous meals I'm going to cook with all the exotic produce on display, not to mention the 3,000 types of cheese. I'll then serve said fabulous meals at a table decorated with the fresh flowers I bought, and - well, one can always dream.

Here's a little peek at my Sunday morning trip to one of the most well-known markets in the city, Rue Cler.

I hope this works!

I recorded a few seconds of sound while walking around outside Sacre Coeur this weekend that you will hopefully be able to play below. I've never tried this before so no promises!
