Caen
My friend Dick and I took a day trip outside of Paris last Sunday to go up to a town in Normandy, Caen. It is close to the DDay beaches and was heavily hit during the war, explaining why it lacks the old European style buildings. Fortunately, the Abbey of William the Conquerer was preserved and has been around since the 11th Century!

Eglise de Saint-Pierre

Hotel de Ville

Abbaye aux Hommes

Marche d'Aligre
I didn't take any pictures of the market because I feel like once you have seen a few markets in Paris they are all quite similar on appearance. But Aligre is set apart from the rest because all of the vans that transport the goods are covered in crazy graphiti.
Location: place d'Aligre 75012 (in between Bastille and Gare du Lyon)
