Les Puces (Paris 2.6)

After being lazy all day yesterday, I felt like stretching my legs, so I headed up to Les Puces de St-Ouen. Les Puces are a collection of flea markets in the north-west of the city. Most of what you can get there is second hand, though there are a bunch of stalls that sell new shoes and clothing, and assholes on corners that will grab you to try and get you to buy fake Channel bags after you've refused politely...
It's a bit of a labyrinth once you get in there, and it's relatively easy to get lost amidst all the antique furniture, but there are some interesting vintage clothing shops (interesting in this case also means pricey), beautiful antiques and artwork.
A few hours here just took it out of me, so I headed home (the weather had basically turned from nice-ish to crappy anyhow).
Do you know what they have here?

Pre-made chocolate mousse from the organic market.
Pre-made chocolate mousse. Ingredients: chocolate, eggs, butter. Amazing. Definitely one of the things I love about France.
