THIS SPACE MEANT FOR ASSEMBLING TROOPS IS NOW A
NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET
There's room for double-parked trucks, parked cars on the other side of the street, ordinary traffic...
The church of Notre-Dame de la Gare, 13th
and for stands:
By noon, most of the homemade bread is gone.
"We're Auvergnats* for three generations!"
*Auvergne, a rural region in central France
Grass roots politics, on the left in this southeastern outskirt.
Plunge into "real Paris"
by watching people leave church after mass,
in a neighborhood that used to be terrifying.
Then discover this market
where design meant for violence
brings joie de vivre.
End of this section.
