Ohhhh...the pleasure!

Truly one of the greatest pleasures in the world is to experience the way the French do markets. From waking up on market day, walking through the neighborhood in the morning light, seeing the first view of the busy, bustling scene, discovering the treasures of the day, and then coming home and partaking of the earth's bounty, each precious moment appeals to all the senses. Sound, sight, touch, smell, and best of all...taste...

We begin the day with wonderful conversation over breakfast and a lazy "chat."


Père et frère en France!


Finding the tarte citron.


Fromage....found!


Our favorite grocer took a photo of us and the endives.


Freya presides over the day's treasures (and yes, that luscious tomato is real).


J'ai envie de manger...


Fromage --camembert, comté, and three types of chevre (goat cheese)


Mmmmmmmmm...


Freya is exhibiting the outward physical expression of how we feel inside after filling up on the amazing food.


Dessert


The tarte citron is the hit of the day! Incredible!


Pure happiness!


Les fraises étaient délicieux!

We're going to need to take cheese lessons from you. We found a few that we really like and pretty much stick to them - which must be a huge waste of opportunity!
