Sunday 25th January

Flea market

Our Sunday started with a wander round the flea market
under the metro arches at our local station

Fox fur anyone?

After browsing for a while in the cold we walked up to La Place D'Italie and hopped on a bus which took us within a few minutes of the rue de Monceau.  We've been here before to the Musée Camondo but we wanted to see no. 81 rue de Monceau because Peter is reading 'Hare with  Amber Eyes' and this is the house where Charles Ephrussi lived.  Charles collected the netsukes which feature in the book.

Outside Hotel Ephrussi - no visible clues as to its history

Then round the corner to the Parc Monceau

Strange unexplained objects in the park

Back home across the bridge
