I suppose ceremony dictates that I wish your blog a very happy third birthday. But what I *really* want to say is, “Thank you for forever changing the way I experience the world, by teaching me to listen.” Who knows how many lives you’ve changed and enriched through your blog? And who knows how many more lives you’ll touch in years to come through your wonderful recordings? I’m very glad you gave in to “the vague idea of sharing [your] passions.” Happy blogbirthday — and here’s to many, many more.

Thanks Alastair. I’m afraid the sounds of the market at Les Halles have long since vanished. The market was moved out to Rungis in the late ’70′s. Yes, the picture is of the site as it is today. The development is supposed to be completed in the next year or so. The only sounds there at the moment are the endless sounds of building work which I have recorded – but you can only record the same sounds so many times! I do go back from time to time though partly to see how they’re getting on and partly to search for new sounds. It’s always an adventure.

Thank you for this – that organ was quite dramatic. Is your first photo the site of Les Halles? I have a fond memory of being there in 1977 and being laughed at by a couple of lady stall holders who thought it was funny that I said Ou est les toilletes s’il vows plait? rather than ou sont . . .

I realise it is personal but, perhaps for the reasons above, I would have enjoyed a transition from the sounds of Les Halles to the bells and the organ but if the market site is currently a building site, maybe not.

Thanks Heather. I’m pleased you enjoyed this piece. A ‘multi-sensory feast’ is a wonderful way to describe this street.

I’m afraid I don’t know exactly where Francis Plowden lived but I will try to find out for you.
