I often go to farmer's markets here where I live but the displays never looks quite this inviting. it could be that French flair again for presentation..
ils ont de belles couleurs, vive l'OGM ;o)) c'est vrai que c'est beau un étale de fruits et légumes, cela offre de la couleur pour la journée et après ce weekend ça nous fait du bien
LD wrote what «Louis» was thinking! He really enjoyed visiting the markets in France. He often used photos he took in the markets on his now-defunct food blog.
Lovely pictures! English francophiles (j'en suis un) are so strange; we have really good veg shops and markets here, but we don't romanticise them in the same way as we do French ones.
I love markets like this, but there are so few remaining. There are so many colors and smells. I learned something new, thank you! I'm not familiar with "Coeur de Boeuf" and now know they are a variety of tomato.
My mouth is watering. I would not be able to pass such a display without purchasing some of those amazing tomatoes. We have a farmers market here on Saturdays. Why is food so much more appealing when you buy it outdoors rather than in a stuffy grocery store? :)
PS I also like the magic wand effect as I pass over your pictures.
Quelles belles tomates! Et que c' est bien pour ca aussi, le printemps. Au menu chez nous ce soir, tarte a l'oignon, avec une belle salade de... tomates bien sur!
@ all: these big tomatoes, called "coeur de boeuf" or "bull's heart" are among "forgotten" varieties that have lately become very fashionable. I don't know exactly how much has been dabbled with them in laboratories ;-) but they are quite tasty. Behind them are the dark tomatoes, also very fashionable.
Es sieht köstlich aus bei Dir! Ich liebe Märkte, wie gerne würde ich da schnuppern gehen!
Kann es sein, dass es in Deinen Bildern schneit, immer wenn ich auf ein Bild scrolle erscheinen im oberen Rand Schneeflocken ... es würde ja zum jetzigen Frühling passen.
Thank you for visiting and leaving a thought! Sorry about the moderation, a bit tired of spam at the moment!
Merci de votre visite très appréciée et de laisser une pensée ! Désolée de devoir modérer vos commentaires, VDP en a un peu marre des spammeurs en ce moment !
At the greengrocer's in Saint-Louis neighbourhood, last Saturday.
It must be nice to live where everything is so pretty. I know I say that a lot about your photos, but they really are pretty!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, school lets out late May and begins late July-early August. Is your school year very different?

ReplyDeleteen réponse a ton passage, non les photos de la MEGA BROCANTE sont d'hier ;))
ReplyDeletePetard, elles sont cheres les coeurs de boeuf chez toi!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a pleasure to see these colors. Our markets are such a mess that it is usually difficult to take any kind of pictures.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! English francophiles (j'en suis un) are so strange; we have really good veg shops and markets here, but we don't romanticise them in the same way as we do French ones.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, they remind me of our markets here in Normandy.
