A PATH THROUGH "REAL PARIS"

A FOUNTAIN, A BAKERY, A MARKET, A CITY HALL, A VERY LONG PARK AND A FORMER BUS DEPOT

Start at this fountain on Tuesday or Friday mornings:

(Place Félix Éboué, 12th)

Buy a sandwich at the bakery that won the contest, "best baguette in Paris:"

Boulangerie Leroy-Monti 

203, avenue Daumesnil

Then discover the city's longest market:

("Marché Daumesnil")

# # #

At the last stand turn right and continue to City Hall...

(At n° 130 avenue de Daumesnil)

Memorials to the Dead of World War I and to Jewish children deported during the Occupation.

Climb the stairs that face the monument to the Green Flow,  
which crosses much of eastern Paris...

Adapted from a Google map

Notice the statues at the top of the building.

Then walk down the stairs, cross the street and come upon a former bus depot.

(Now "Ground Control," at 81 rue Charleroi) 

A scene from the movie Lust for Life about Van Gogh, by Vincent Minelli with Kirk Douglass, was filmed in this street (in 1956).
