Our Front Door Market - Blvd. Edgar Quinet


A familiar looking shopper?
Don't worry - they remove the heads!

The busy street market on Blvd. Edgar Quinet is on our doorstep!  It is open on Wednesday and Saturday mornings with more vendors on Saturday.  There is everything imaginable - and then some!  We take our rolling shopping bag and fill up on all kinds of things - tomatoes that taste like tomatoes, carrots that are tender, olives of every description, cheese (goat, sheep, cow), fish, meats, bread.  The butcher and charcuterie vendors have all kinds of prepared dishes for our lazy side.  The quality and freshness are what makes shopping in France so wonderful!


Fresh vegetables of all varieties!

Fish or shellfish anyone?

....Maybe octopus?

Morille (morel) mushrooms
Roasted chicken, ribs, and potatoes

You can't forget flowers for the table?
