_Rouge-Mare_ is now the butter market.


THE BOULINGRIN.

The English have returned to the French that which they had borrowed of
them. Formerly, people did not go to walk on the _boulevard_, but on the
_boule-verd_, from which the english have made _bowling-green_, a
literal translation. From this word, the french derive their
_Boulingrin_.

This place is situated at the junction of the rampes Beauvoisine and
Saint-Hilaire; it is a vast square surrounded by a magnificent double
row of horse chestnut trees. Since the horse market has been transferred
to it, people commonly call it the _new Rouge-Mare_.
