Not far from the Sacré Coeur church, on the lower part of Montmartre there is a shop that all Parisians know: Le marché Saint-Pierre. It's THE place to go if you want to buy cheap fabric. And when I say cheap fabric I mean unexpensive, not "cheap"! I personally do not like this place too much for it reminds me of when my mother would drag me there as a child (!) but I must say I went back there recently to take this photo and, well, yes all this fabric makes it a place to see!
Great comment! This is so true. I believe every kid in Paris knows this place for the reasons you describe so accurately. This picture brings back so many souvenirs. Don't miss this place, for a pilgrimage or for a first visit, there no shop that is more parisian than this one.

Bonjour Eric, je ne connais pas l'anglais mais j'ai apprécié tes photos. Merci.
ReplyDeleteAnother very nice shot, Eric.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful close-up, the colours are so attractive. Oh why didn't I visit this shop when in Paris, I love fabrics (after a childhood of also being dragged around the dustry fabric shops of Sydney...but maybe that's why now I work in fashion!)
ReplyDeleteEric, ce n'est pas "Sacré Choeur" ("Holy Choir"), mais "Sacré-Coeur" ("Sacred Heart").
ReplyDeleteJe suppose que ce n'était qu'une coquille... (I guess it was just a misprint).
