How depressing is that? Where did spring go? Even though the weather is crummy, many farmers markets around Chicago start this week. I am planning on going to the market in Daley Plaza tomorrow. All this wishing for warm weather and and thinking about open-air markets brings my memory back to our trip to France last fall. The first part of our trip was spent in St-Tropez and we were lucky enough to be there on a day of the week when the market in Place des Lices takes place (Tuesdays and Saturdays). I took a lot of pictures of the different food vendors, but there are also tables selling bags, scarves, jewelry, and other goodies.
Here's a booth selling meat and some savory pastries:
A selection of olives, as well as olive oils and vinegars:
My favorite, le fromage:
Some veggies:
Cured meats:
Me smelling some vegetable soaps:
Here's what we ended up buying for lunch. Actually, it lasted for a few lunches.
Can I go back there right now? Please?
mmmmmmmm! looks so good! the weather sucks though...
