Another good hotel is the Hôtel du College de France, in the same neighborhood. I think the College de France is even more reasonable than the Carmes, but it was full for the dates I needed.<BR/><BR/>Claude, hope you had a good time in Blois.<BR/><BR/>Isabella, the market in Saint-Aignan is much smaller than the one on the Avenue de Saxe, and the prices are more reasonable. Over in Selles-sur-Cher, there is a large market, comparable to the one on the Avenue de Saxe in Paris, on Thursdays. And then there is Amboise on Sundays, which is even bigger than the Ave. de Saxe market.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-33448331452597788032007-09-14T21:14:00.000+02:002007-09-14T21:14:00.000+02:00I'm just getting back from your corner of France, ...I'm just getting back from your corner of France, where I visited with my friend Sarah. Today we visited the gardens at Chaumont sur Loire.

That was our quartier when we lived in Paris and we do miss it...Especially the view from our bedroom window - L'Eglise du Dôme :-)<BR/><BR/>(I wonder, how does the Marché Saxe-Breteuil compare to the one in Saint-Aignan, in size and price?)<BR/><BR/>Your sister is lucky to have you as her guide on her first visit to France - Have a wonderful time.isahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691699331129121806noreply@blogger.com
