Paris 2019 – Day 11

Off to the Marché President Wilson this morning.  President Wilson Marché is amoung the largest in Paris.  The market stretches from the metro stop Iéna to Alma Marceau on line 9.  The market has over 70 stalls, some of which stand 50-60 feet in length and the stalls include seafood, meat, cheese, vegetables, nut, spices ,olives, pastries, bread, and prepared items of all imagination.  We purchased a leg of Porc and Sauerkraut (Chou croute) for tomorrows dinner, we also selected a piece of Tarte Tropézienne, not nearly as good as we

Micka’s pâtisserie “La Tarte Tropézienne”

Micka’s original pâtisserie still exists and is named “La Tarte Tropézienne”.

We took our bounty back to the apartment and then headed over to the Opera area in the 9th arrondissement to find the on Rue de Martyre.  We took the bus in that direction by alas it’s Saturday and the Yellow Vest protested were on the move so the bus ended at Place Victor Hugo and we got on the metro and completed our journey to Notre-Dame de-Lorette and the market.  The market which is in the 9th arrondissement is in a up and coming area, actually I would say that was true a few years ago and now it is pretty posh.  we walked the market and enjoyed looking at the treasure a few years ago would have been going home in our suit case but after our move and down size there is no room at the inn, but its always nice to appreciate interesting items.  Following the market we made our way back to Opera and the protest, this time in the form of a “Rave for the Climate”.  In addition e were amazed to find the Apple store boarded up as thought there was a hurricane coming, even the flag was wrapped up and the Apple Logo covered. After leaving

the Opera area we made our way over the the Hotel De Ville metro stop to visit the BHV department store.  Wow has this store up graded and up scaled and is now up there with some of the more chi-chi stores in Paris, but the prices were still pretty good.

Popoline – New exciting cream puffs

While on our visit to the Brocante market I noticed a pastry shop called Popoline.  Popoline make cream puffs and they appertains to be the new part in Paris.  This is the second of third store I have seen specializing in creampuffs.

Glass of Rosé at Bianco Italian

After shopping we headed over to the 1st arrondissement to get a glass of wine and an early dinner.  We chose to stop for wine at one of our favorite watering hole the has a happy hour of 2 for one named Bianco Italian.  After drinks the hour was perfect for a burger at Cafe du Centre.  Both of these were located on the Rue Montorgueil in the 2nd arrondissement, several years ago we stayed on Rue Tiquetonne just off Rue Montorqueil so were very familiar with the area, it has become much more of a tourist area but the burgers at Centre are still excellent.

After dinner we mapped a route home around the many metro stops still closed as a result of the yellow vest protests.
