Fabrics galore: Village d’Orsel, because going on a fabric shop-op to Montmartre at the marché Saint-Pierre is priceless. Small tip, if you are slightly lost in your choice or not sure of the number of meters, don’t hesitate to bring sketches and a few examples during the week when vendors are more available and can give you good advice!
