that the outdoor parking lot was filling up, close to nearly being at its capacity for the first time in years. The families were quite interested in walking around the market, checking out the interesting stuff made by local folks. An example of one of these impressive vendors was one that sold ecofriendly cards that can also be used to grow plants. When you gift it to someone, they can re-use it instead of storing it inside a cabinet somewhere in their household by putting it in soil and watering it like a plant There are seeds embedded inside of the card that will dissolve into the ground the moment it get planted! It’s absolutely eerie-sistable

Earlier on in this column I hinted at the fact that there was a fire performance that was held at the night market. And let me tell you that it did not disappoint one bit! There was a cool short performance of somebody playing with fire, throwing it up in the air and twisting it around without dropping it one bit! It even gathered quite the audience as families and couples were crowded around the circular stage, mouths open in shocked delight. But not only did the fire performance gather attention, as there was also live music with music artists playing warm, acoustic music and some food trucks as well because there isn’t a Paris festival without food trucks

Now as I have said before, Halloween is slightly over a month away But seeing all of these families coming together having fun with the festive joy that is the Autumn season here, I can’t wait until it comes. I hope you all have a great Fall season and some full Goblin up all of that candy!
