September City Daily Photo Theme Day: Open Air Market


Until now, I have mostly shown you Notre-Dame market. This is the smaller market held on Saturday mornings in front of Saint-Louis cathedral, for this month's Theme Day. I hope you like cheese, that's where I bought mine last Saturday!
---------------------------------------
Jusqu'à présent, je vous ai plutôt montré le marché Notre-Dame. Voici celui qui se tient le samedi matin devant la cathédrale Saint-Louis. J'espère que vous aimez le fromage, c'est ici que j'en ai acheté samedi !

  1. Love outdoor markets; love cheese! I seem to recall from my studies that such markets have been held either inside or outside cathedrals in Europe for over a thousand years...or longer...

  2. Re tee shirts - Don't be silly; you didn't offend...but it seems to me they ought to offer tee shirts which would be appropriate for a gent like me...not sure what that would be, though! :-)

  15. Dur métier que celui de fromager, un vrai sacerdoce. Ils viennent de loin les commerçants tu sais parfois ?
    J'irai plutôt par chez toi que du coté d'Olivier cela semble mieux achalandé dans mes goûts. J'espère qu'il y a aussi un marchand de légumes secs où acheter des loukoums et des citrons confits ?

  16. Bonjour Cieldequimper !
    Je vois souvent tes commentaires et ce matin j'ai décidé de venir faire un tour à Versailles.
    On s'y croirtait entre les portrait célèbes et la musique de chambre.
    Quel étale de fromages. Je ferais un repas qu'avec du bon pain et tout plein de sortes de fromages.
    Bonne journée !

  27. Thank you, thank you for these beautiful cheeses. I wish I could taste! But I can taste that gorgeous blue sky above the market scene and the beauty of Saint-Louis cathedral. I just love it, from the street lamps to the striped fruit stall. So, is that man filming you while you are taking his photo? :-)

    For a joke, I tried clicking Yuck on the Reactions...as if I didn't like cheese - if that's at all possible - but it wouldn't accept it ... hee-hee.
