Markets in paris
I agree with Janice about Rue Cler. A much more authentic market is the one at
Pl Maubert. The one at Pl Monge is great also. I found Rue Cler to be mostly the
shops there putting their wares outside. The other markets mentioned had the
acutal producers. Try also the recently reopened Enfants Rouge Market which is
actually the oldest continuous market in France. It is at the moment in my book
the most authentic market in Paris...full of locals as most guide books do not
even mention it

Fairfax, Ca USA Thu 05/27/2004
went looking for nice souvenirs and found a wonderful street for shopping on the
Ile St. Louis on Rue St. Louis en l'Ile (can't miss it -- goes right up the
center of the island). Upscale but affordable boutiques, things you won't find
in standard sovenir shops. A delightful shop called Pylones (there are several
in Paris) selling fanciful gifts, very similar to Occtopus in London. There was
also a toy store that had the best postcards -- very creative!

The oldest tree in Paris
is propped up by a slab of concrete and stands in the center of the Square Vivani in front of Eglise Saint Julien le Pauvre in the 5th arrondissement. Dating back to 1602, the "Robinia pseudacacia" was brought from Virginia to Europe and planted there by herbalist to King Henri IV and director of the nearby Jardin des Plantes, Jean Robin.
but see http://www.paris.org/Kiosque/may99/414oldie.html
By pure chance, the other, really oldest, tree is also a 'robinier' and it is in the botanical garden inside the Jardin des Plantes; planted possibly in 1636 between what are now the mineralogical and botanical galleries. This is news to me and I haven't seen it - because of looking for another oldest tree in these gardens - a very healthy-looking and huge cedar.
At age 265, this cedar is not the 'oldest' tree in the Jardin des Plantes.
This was planted quite recently, in 1734. Its story is that it was planted by Bernard de Jussieu,
