Paris afficionados!  Join Marjorie Williams, co-author of Markets of Paris, 2nd Edition, to hear about a fresh way of experiencing Paris--through the city's markets!   Highlighting some of the best food, flea, antique and hobbyist markets that Paris has to offer, she will share practical tips for enjoying the markets as a fun way to explore local culture, sample local foods, find unusual souvenirs, and venture into new neighborhoods. Step off the beaten path of typical sites and uncover Paris in a whole new light!  Marjorie will accompany her talk with a brief slideshow.  Ooh la la!  ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Fascinated with farmers’ markets since childhood, Marjorie R.
