  1. O ja über den Markt bummeln, ein Stück Käse versuchen - einkaufen - sich am Olivenstand verführen lassen - die leichte Sommerluft unter Platanen und nach dem *ÜberdenMarktschlendern* noch im *Tabac* ne Zeitung holen (und früher auch Zigaretten selbstverständlich Gauloises) und dann ins Café auf ein kleines préssion oder einen café crême!

    Ach wär das jetzt schön!

    Liebe Grüße!

  3. Karin-
    Is that your new car? Nice! ;]

    I just love fresh markets. So much potential.
    In Holland, we traditionally get the bits of fresh fried fish. And always Dutch french fries to go with the fish and fruits and veggies.

  5. That guy is thinking the same thing I am..wish that car was mine! Love the outdoor market, are they there daily or once a week? We have the same thing here daily but you have to run from town to town, love it.

    I'm having a one-year blog-a-versary giveaway of a small tapestry pillow!

  14. Oh Ann, I would wish that this car is mine! It was parked just in a little side road next to the market which means that somebody went with it to do the market-shopping. I wouldn't mind....

  16. I would love to be strolling through that market and feeling the authentic French flavor. I love seeing all the faces and the variety of things the market offers. Your photos are wonderful and I feel like I am standing next to you...enjoying every minute!
    I also loved your post a few days ago about all the old homes. Gorgeous and I love the passion that goes in to restoring them. Beautiful posts. Thank you!

  17. Oh Karin, your previous post on le Périgord Blanc had me speechless at the beauty of your countryside and homes, and now this one has me filled with envy! How wonderful to live in a culture and society that values fresh, good quality food so highly. And like you, I wouldn't half mind having that vintage car! Well, we can dream of having it all, can't we? Thank you for these little tours around your incredibly beautiful part of the world xx
