I spent a month in France when I was 21. I have been back a couple of times since. I am now 66 and haven't been back for many years but remember so fondly eating from the markets. I remember the smells, the sounds, the atmosphere. Your pictures took me there. Thank you

In reply to Anne.

That’s a tad unfortunate, Anne. I guess we’re lucky to have several good markets closeby, including in Lorient, Ploemeur and here in Larmor Plage. But, it’s always lovely to have the luxury of growing your own fruits and veg, so a wonderful consolation for you!
The scallop story gave me a good smile – my husband would defintely not be one of thr rescuers.

Our local market in Brittany isn’t that good unfortunately. The best market we went to was before we moved here and it was in Rouen, it was amazing! We are lucky in being to grow our own fruit and vegetables and our neighbour has a walnut tree…! It is only about a 45 min drive to the beach where many locals go cockle fishing and on one occasion, at Pleneuf Val Andre, there were loads of scallops being washed ashore. We were busy ‘rescuing’ them whilst others were busy catching them…
