Rue Cler

We stayed in a small hotel (Grand Hotel Leveque) on a cobble stoned street called Rue Cler in the 7^th Arrondissement (district) in Paris, just a couple of minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower and River Seine.  The street was blocked to vehicular traffic and was essentially an open market each day we were there.  The shops opened up very early each morning, and most stayed open well after dark.  There were cheese shops, wine shops, vegetable and fruit stands, a butcher, a fish monger, shoe stores, pastry shops, a perfume shop, and several cafes.  Here are a few photos trying to capture the flavor of the street.
