The Final
The nation is getting ready for the long vacation, and already many of the stalls in the market have closed. Excitement has also been building in the street for today's World Cup final, which will be played at 20:00 tonight (2 p.m. EST). Yesterday we saw patriotism expressed with flags, t-shirts and make-up; today it builds, and many of the younger merchants in the market were also showing the colours.
We're going shopping in the Marais today (the old Jewish quarter, the only place where shops are likely to be open on a Sunday); but we plan to be home well in advance of the kick-off to batten down the hatches.
