The cries of London (Marathon des mots 2007) by Martin, 6°1

             The cries of London

Today, 17th of June, I went to listen to the cries of London with my family.

It's the cries of the merchants and charlatans of London in the markets until the end of 19th century.

A band made music with some typical cries, like the broom's merchants (marchant de balais), the fishmonger (poissonnier), the gardener (jardinier), the blacksmith
(forgeron) and so on.

The band is called the "Sacqueboutiers".

PS: Hi miss ! I helped my brother (a little) to write this message (I hope you don't mind.) We really liked this middle age music. We tried to add some pictures, but the video was too heavy to be sent.
