We still don't like taking medicine but it is a pleasure to go to our local "pharmacie" because of the friendly help of Monsieur Sylvain.

Here's one of several fruit and vegetable markets that we pass on our way to the Casino supermarket complex. 

 I am contemplating what to buy in Casino's meat department for this week's meals.

The fresh veggies and fruits are very good, and the prices are comparable to the prices in Phoenix. As you can see, we can also buy flowers at the Casino.

Some of the goodies to buy at the supermarket. Pâté anyone?

The best fromage (cheese) store in our neighborhood, where they make their own cheeses, is in the Casino complex. Just before we arrived last fall, there was a cheese festival in Paris with over 1,000 different kinds of cheese. 

There are three fruit and veggie stores on the way to the Casino supermarket. 

The poissonnerie (fishmonger) near the Casino has fresh seafood everyday. 

Near our apartment is a small hardware store. They even sell little electric scooters for getting around town. I don't think I'd want to tackle the Paris traffic on one of these though. 

There are several butchers near us as well. You can even buy a freshly BBQ'ed chicken from them for about 8 euros. These photos are taken on the sidewalk. The aroma is wonderful!

Here you see the yummies at Paul's bakery at the Casino supermarket complex. It's one of several nice bakeries in our neighborhood. 

These are some of the current ads in the Paris Metro. It's one way to say current on events and opportunities. For some reason, they fascinate me.
