Bountiful treasures at Saint-Sulpice

Statue_of_angel

A 19th-century stone angel between a wing and a prayer at Sophie Pretelat's Anges et Demons at the brocante at Place Saint-Sulpice, Paris. Monday's the last day of the 31st Foire aux Antiquaires, so best get your skates on! Last chance until 2009! Take the Metro Line 10 to Mabillion, then walk two blocks to the brocante opposite the Church of Saint-Sulpice. You can't miss it, thanks to the cranes and scaffolding still present amidst the church's long-term renovation effort.
