PArt of this is for me. Takes time away from doom scrolling.
I also have to dig through the pictures I took over 6 days..... Glad it's not film.

Love the colors, the varieties of things, the whole layout! There must be a sizable population to support such extensive markets.

The French and Italian outdoor market tradition is very strong.
Smaller villages usually have a half day.
The variety is amazing.

They do them well also.

Well done.

We were blessed with light fog a couple of times. That really can add to the atmosphere.

Nice selection, colorful fruits, veggies, crisp alive greens. It looks like a happening place, and laid back, too. Every day a produce market?

That's so great. Here down south, USA, the farmers market in the town I live in is Saturdays, only, from mid April to mid September. Thank you for posting the pictures and info.

But there was one all six days we were there. I think they skip national holidays.

European refrigerators are small and they can't store much in them, so shopping for food happens more often...almost daily. It's one of those Chicken or the Egg things. Do they shop everyday for produce because of the lack of storage or is the storage space small because they shop every day for produce? It's a mystery.

It gets me out into the world (milieu) and I can choose what suits my shifting tastes - rather than buying for a couple of weeks and bulk cooking.

However, if I go three times a week for short periods I'm ok.

Their markets were really bustling on a Saturday. THe regular ones were open during hte week.
MAny peopel had little or no refigeration. ou could buy live chicken to take home to have later in the week.

Highly recommend it. It belongs to one of my nieces who grew up in Mexico.

Our friend lives up in the Croix-Rousse area.
I'll stick this in as a favorite in Google maps.

Thanks
