Cheap souvenirs
This market takes place every Saturday on Avenue Auguste Blanqui, from Place d'Italie to Denfert Rochereau. It is a place where you find stuff, cheap souvenirs of the city, hats, clothing, usually pretty low quality, but fashion accessories which you can wear for a time, priced well. In general there are many people in the neighborhood, and few tourists. Chinatown starts here, and around, many stores have cheap imports from China and Asia as well. I like the selection of flowers there, and some ideas for gifts for the holidays.
