Somehow I've never given any thought as to how market stalls were put up or taken down, or brought there and then taken away. One of those learning experiences I didn't expect! Very interesting. — K

Had a chuckle at Dina's comment. It's true though Ciel, we don't think of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, I would be a disaster trying to maneuver one of those huge trucks!!
Nous on a un marché qui ne bouge pas, des etals et des tentes rayées installées à l'année. Juste des gens qui nettoient et arrosent quand c'est fini, pas de camions..
@ Kaori: you wait until they do it metre per metre! These photos were taken while I was at the driving wheel, waiting for the manoeuvre to be finished!

I marvel at how they can maneuver in small areas.

And ... they do it every week ! amazing !
Je les ai vu a l'oeuvre de nombreuses fois a Paris. Ca pese relativement lourd ces baches roulees...
It's a job, but at least it's outdoors.
We certainly don't see anything like that - the big trailer trucks - at our markets in Asia!
That's a big load!
So the market literally folded? ;)
It is always interesting to watch people at work...

Fascinante la façon dont ce matériel apparaît et disparaît... Tout un art.

Every thursday there's a market (of no interest at all!) at Carcavelos, next to Oeiras. You should see the mess when it's over!...
Tres pres de la personne et d'un Bouddha! :-))
Les marchés sont merveilleux.

How do they turn corners?
