If you ever visit Paris....

....don't forget your travel cages! Paris, the city of love, lovers and bird lovers. A few years ago my wife, Astrid, and I visited the ageless city of lovers. We visited all the famous sites of the city like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre , the Arc de Triomphe or the artists of Montmartre. But my personal highlight (please, don't tell that my wife ;-) was a visit of the Paris bird mart.

The Paris bird mart is held every Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 15:00 a.m. at the Place Louise-Lépine on the Ile de la cité (Metro: Cité) just behind the famous cathedral of Notre Dame.

Just click on the images to take a short virtual tour of the bird mart of Paris. Use the back button to return to this page:

	Canaries and hookbills.
	Song birds in small cages.
	Dozens of encaged  coloured bred canaries. Sadly this is the worst picture I have ever seen on bird marts.

I hope you have enjoyed this little virtual visit of the bird mart of Paris. And don't forget to visit it if you ever take a trip to the city of  (bird) lovers.
