Sometimes life leads you down unexpected roads especially when you have nothing planned for the day. It's on those days that you end up having a amazing and fantastic experience.
Me and 
We simply walked around enjoying the atmosphere of people laughing, kids playing around and the fresh aroma of coffee and cooked meat in the air. But most of all it had some beautiful buildings and old ornaments placed randomly everywhere.
It was a day well spent and one that I would not soon forget! Definitely a place I will re-visit often when I'm around
We had a few snacks to eat and there was even a craft beer vendor that set up in an old ambulance, but I mean a really old somewhat military like ambulance. I am totally lost and confused while writing this post because I have no clue as to what I was thinking for not taking a picture of it and neither of the craft beer. Must have been in a rush or something, silly me.
I didn't want to add too many sections to the post so I added some photo's that are irrelevant to the topics into the sections as well. Please bare with me as you tag a long our wonderful and unplanned journey through the French Market.
Even though it's a fairly new building it gave the feeling of the french medieval times (I am unsure if that's the right timeline, probably not I ain't no historian)
It has a long straight single door in front, longer than the standard sizes of doors, I am assuming that was deliberately done in order to give that classical French look. It also had an old steel chair in front along with a moveable lantern post.
Only downside was the damn air-cons hanging visible.
The Square where everyone could sit down and have a relaxing meal in-between their explorations of the French Market. They really gave it the French vibe with the colours of the French flag hanging around and being painted on random objects.
The old and rough looking overgrown wall with the birdhouse. I'm dying to see how it would look when spring has finally set in and the wall is covered in green leaves, I mean yes I can already picture it in my mind BUT nothing beats the experience of seeing it first hand in the moment. I will surely have to come back someday.
Quite curious as to where they discovered this old piece of history, maybe in someone's attic? It was for sale but it had a very hefty price to it and of course that makes sense. I doubt there are a lot of them left if any.
Sadly the Titanic never made it to it's final destination and now lies in the Atlantic ocean south-southeast of the coast of Newfoundland.
Even though this old coal stove has been sitting outside for quite some years it's still in a fairly good condition, still having its original paint. It's a bit rusty yes, but I bet if it gets a nice cleaning it will work as the day it was built many many years ago.
The back door of the chapel in the first photo. I wish that I could move the cord with the light bulbs on it, I didn't dare try because I have not went through the whole market yet and didn't want to risk getting thrown out just for a silly photo. 🤣
The journey down the long and narrow road enjoying the most cutest and silliest of ornaments being sold by vendors.
Its been a while since I've seen multi coloured flowers, probably because it was winter! It is now time for spring and everything is blooming nicely.
These plants are certainly well maintained and not left unattended, most if not all of the flower heads are still beautifully intact and undamaged. It made for nice photos.
A very old cacti still growing strong.
She decided on a photo outside of the pond area rather than inside.
A nice seating place located inside the pond area, next time I will ask around if we are allowed to go inside. I'm certain we will end up with a lot of nice photos that we can take of the geese.
A old Vespa scooter located near the square where everyone enjoyed their lunch.
I bet that I would be able to fix this old rusty scooter all with a bit of love and a good cleaning of the engine internals.
What caught my attention about this was the fact that it even had a spare tire. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of it but you can see side of the tire sticking out on the left hand side in the second photo, just below the handle bars.
Riding one of these back in the day would have made you a very 'cool' individual cruising the streets of the town with the wind breezing through your hair.
People had a simpler life back then compared to the everyday rush most of us experience these days.
> Sharing my life experience on the Hive blockchain is a great pleasure for me to do, I have been on the hive blockchain since the days of steemit, I only recently rediscovered this blockchain and I completely forgot what a blast it was sharing my everyday life and its happenings with the blockchain and its community's. I want to give a big thanks to all of the supporters out there making the blockchain great and adding value to it everyday.
Once again your feedback would be highly valued and appreciated.
