Fall Buying in Paris ~ Chatou Day 2

It was a festive atmosphere today at Chatou!!! Dealers returned and the public was invited in add to it a splendid weather day and it felt like a carnival!

But let me digress a moment as I tell you how to get there....
              First, take the Metro to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station. there follow the signs to RER A.
You'll feel like you're going down underground by 16 floors, and in fact, it is quite a ways down.
Look for A-1 line.....not to be confused with all the other A lines!!!! Your A-1 line goes to St Germain en Laye. 

Then you will have less than 15 minutes to relax as you will depart at station Chatou-Choissy. Walk to your left, cross the Seine River bridge, walk down the stairs ( here you will see all of the dealer trucks), turn toward the right and enter through the back gates. There is a front gate also, but you have to walk further from the metro stop.

Now you have arrived! Count on at least 3 hours to quickly see everything...even more if you stop for lunch or shop a lot.....which I hope you will do both!
Following photos are some snapshost of just a few of the things I saw today. *** if you are going to take photos- remember to ask first!***
And do plan on having lunch there! Its one of the most fun, and tasty, parts of the fair! And if you buy a lot from one of the dealers and make friends, expect that they will offer you a glass of wine or cheese as a snack...it happens to me all the time...accept it with grace!
Enjoy..............................
