Exploring the markets in France
The French markets are amazing. Food stalls jostle with
handbag stalls, people mill around greeting each other with kisses and
handshakes, just wandering through the market fills you with excitement. The
stallholders work their way through the long queues giving out samples of
sausage, a quick joke or a ready smile. The fruit and vegetable stalls have
produce in a rainbow of colours; orange and yellow peppers shine brightly, red
strawberries lay neatly in rows, plump looking green lettuces wait to be
chosen. Dried sausages come in more varieties than you can imagine from duck to
kangaroo, with herb coating or flour dusting. The smells fill the air and make
you want to take them home to stick in a scrapbook; wafts of cooking meat from
the rotisseries, mouth watering flavours from giant skillets and the heady
perfume of flowers. Les marchés merveilleux de la France .
