    Grenell Market and Père-Lachaise

    September 29, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    When we left the hotel to get breakfast we discovered a huge market set up under the above ground metro rail line. We decided to have a bit of a wander through the market before breakfast. It was an amazing market, full of colour, delicious smells and people. They were selling everything from fruit and veg, bread, meat and poultry, seafood, pastries, clothes, toys and much much more. I bought a scarf and a cushion cover, Katie got a cushion cover and a top.

    After breakfast we headed off on the metro to Père Lachaise to spend some time wandering around this amazing cemetery. We found the graves of Balzac, Chopin, and Delacroix to name a few.

    We then headed out of the cemetery and started walking towards the meeting place for our street art tour and stopped at a nice brasserie for lunch.
