Walking around the Ile de la City towards Notre Dame is what all visitors to Paris do.

Try going on a Sunday morning when you will find a birdmarket on in the Marche aux Fleur. Amazing sights and sounds to be had. But don’t be tempted to buy a new pet! And don’t foget that the Ile St-Louis should not be missed.

Cross the bridge (pont St Louis) near the back of Notre Dame church and wander the winding streets full of evocative little Parisian shops and tiny bistros.

Its wonderful to explore and make your own discoveries.

Wonder where all that lovely French grub comes from?

Get up super early and take a trip to the Parisian suburbs, to Rungis, the biggest wholesale fresh food market in France.

Makes Londons' Borough market look like a tiny posh deli.

Visit the flea markets, especially Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen.

Plan your trip to LIlle to coincide with the Xmas Market at the end of November beginning of December.
