The main shopping district in Saint-Denis is a pedestrian-only zone. Yes! You would appreciate this even more if you knew how horrific drivers were here. Just south of the stores is the open air market. From 6am to 6pm each day, you can find any fruit, vegetable, flower, or meat or fish product your heart desires. These are always amazing no matter where you go, but one thing that I have noticed here is the incredible diversity of fruits that I have never seen. Walking though you can smell the sweetness of the thousands (literally) of pineapples, papayas, "beef hearts" (a fruit), goyaviers, fruit de la passion, coconuts, etc. Tropic and exotic is normal here! I have to tell you, buying an entire pineapple for 1€ is enough to perk me up from any bad mood. Hope you enjoy the photos.
Wow, jealous here
