Finally, a change in the weather. The temperature has dropped. The sky is overcast. But there’s still no sign of the much-needed rain.
As with just about every town in France, the church dominates the skyline.
We weren’t going in the church – we were going behind it. To the market.
Just about everything you would expect to be at a market was there. From cheese sold from tiny vans…
…to meat on display in massive trailers.
All the usual staples were available.
The market isn’t limited to food. As I expected, clothing of all sorts was on display. What I wasn’t expecting was knife sharpening…
…a mobile bicycle-repair shop,
…and a bookshop,
The mattresses brought back memories. We bought ours in a parking lot in St. Jean-de-Losne.
We took back a lot of food to be eaten while we cruise. But we also took advantage of being in place large enough to have a few restaurants. Dinner the first night was at Le Clos des Arômes.
We both stated with Tomates d’Antan with Burrata.
For our plats, Jeannie had the Daurade Royal. I ordered the same thing – only to be told Jeannie had taken the last piece. So, I chose the Filet de Turbot (and paid the extra €4.00).
For dessert, we both chose Figues Roties au Miel de Chataigne.
Tonight, we’re going to L’Hydropathe. It calls itself a restaurant Bistronomique. We’ll find out what that means and let you know.
