Brings back our memories of our week in the Dordogne - Stayed at Lu Bugue and visited Sarlat but unfortunately not on market day but still loved the atmosphere. Leon
Maybe. I think all big cities have first rate markets world wide. London's Borough market is one I knew well - and loved. I bet Union Sq. is excellent too. Sarlat's has a rustic twang and is set in a 14th century town.
We're blessed with large areas of chestnut woodland down here. It was a staple of times gone by, easily obtainable,cheap and highly calorific. Of course, the planting of all that chestnut gives the perfect environment for Cepes to grow.
Wish we were a little closer to Sarlat, loved the market there. Diane
ReplyDeleteHi Diane
DeleteThe Saturday morning market is a delight, as is it's stunning setting.

Leon if you missed market day you'll just have to come back!
DeleteOh man -- the best we have within a 45 minute drive is the farmer's market. Otherwise I have to make due with Food Lion.
ReplyDeleteIs Food Lion a good supermarket? Farmers markets are great ways to spend a morning.
DeleteI have to say, good as the Union Square Greenmarket is, it just doesn't cut the mustard compared to this one.

DeleteFrench, and not so far from the place I live with my parents when we are on holidays, though in a less touristic area ! Sixtine
ReplyDeleteNice part of the world to holiday. Sarlat's touristic attraction is understandably high.
DeleteI imagine that you came home with plentiful supplies Rob. Your post has made me think that I've not seen any chestnuts for sale over here this year :(
