I love the fresh market on avenue d’Italie, (7 mns walk), on Thursdays and Sundays morning. Also we have several supermarkets and numerous restaurants all all around.
Also, when I am in Paris, I am very often alone and I don’t have any problem to come home late at night from the Maison Blanche metro station.
On Sundays morning, I love to take a walk to the François Mitterand bibliotheque’s area. There, I go to the MK2 movies theather. There are many large, wonderful and confortable theaters. The matinee tickets are only 6 Euros, then I go to have lunch around or walk along the Seine. When the weather is not good, I take the newest metro line number 14, and in a few minutes I am in Paris center, or I can stop at Bercy and have lunch in the “Bercy Village” area, not well known by tourists.
