Paris in November: Nikki's photos
I returned from two weeks in Paris on Wednesday, and I have put together some photos here:

I am hoping that I will get going on a trip report this weekend.

It is in the Batignolles neighborhood in the 17th arrondissement.

We went to the Batignolles park maybe last year.. it was so beautifully landscaped, and full of local families, toddlers and strollers.
What are prices like at the 'Brocantes'..? Similar to Vanves, or more 'upscale'?
Thanks for sharing - I used Kodakgallery, too, but haven't seen a slideshow style like yours.

The slide show style with Kodakgallery is new. I didn't choose it; it just switched over to this style some time since I last looked at it. I actually liked the old style better because the pictures were bigger.
I haven't been to the Puce de Vanves in several years, so can't compare prices. I went to two shows on this trip: the large annual (or perhaps semi-annual) antique and brocante show at the Bastille and the small one at Square des Batignolles. Prices at the Bastille seemed high to me; prices at the Batignolles were lower. But my acquisitive juices weren't flowing. I left only footprints and took only pictures.
I did not take any photos of the get-together, sorry.

Nikki, the DH and I were VERY disappointed to miss the GTG! His sinus infection kept us apartment-bound for 3 days and, not being sure if he was contagious, we sure couldn't expose lovely Fodorites to him!
Avalon said it was great fun.
Maybe next time...

The building in #20 is the Comedie Francaise.
The apartment was in the 17th arrondissement, and I would stay there again. The Batignolles area has lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and a real neighborhood feel. The market is the marche biologique, which sets up on the Boulevard des Batignolles every Saturday, just a few blocks from the apartment.
MelJ, it is too bad you missed the get-together; I hope your husband's sinus infection cleared up in time for you to enjoy your stay in Paris.

I think there's a problem with the website, I get through about 6 pictures and it stops. I can see a series of small photos at the bottom, but nothing happens if I click on them.
Anyone else have trouble or should I check my own computer?
We just returned from Paris, too. Hope I can see the rest of your photos.

Great pictures Nikki. November is a great month to be in Paris. It was two years ago for me...boy the time flies doesn't it? I have that apartment bookmarked..I must have seen it on another thread at some point and saved it. Glad to know you liked it.

Hi Nikki, great photos. Makes me really miss Paris, I haven't been there in almost three years - but my daughter is in the process of applying to a program that would have her live there for a year, so maybe next year.....
