Saint-Ouen's Labryinth

I was really excited for this walk because I adore antiques and the book said this was a great place to find true gems. But we ended up walking right into a horrible crowd of Creepy men with knock off products. Well as I was walking a man shoved a bottle of perfume into my arm and I pushed is hand off. Well he then smacked my arm which flipped me around. He then proceeded to yell at me in french and started to throw his hand up to hit me again and stopped himself. There was tons of people around and no one helped me or calmed the man down. I looked at a guy and said do something and he just kept walking which made me even more upset. I started to walk away and another man came up to me and asked me if I was ok and then I just walked away. THe man terrified me and was still yelling at me as I walked away. I was so upset and disgusted by these horrible people, that its all I thought about for the rest of the day and didn't truly enjoy the amazing shops that surrounded me in the better areas.

The market was nice in some areas and not crowded. Because I study furniture history for my major I was really impressed with some of the pieces but as soon as I got off the antique roads I was terrified of the creepy men and wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

I will never go back their without a real man to protect me. I am shocked at what happened and disgusted. I also will never recommend this walk to anyone, to bad the lovely antique shops are ruined by dirty crooks surrounding them.
