Farmer's Market Report: Languedoc-Rousillion, France

2008_04_29-EuroMarketA.jpgWe were in Geneva, Switzerland attending a conference last week, and had a few days off, so we hopped the border to France to visit a good friend in Languedoc-Rousillion, a region in the south central part of France. Of course, we visited the Saturday Farmer's Market there.

 
 

The town was very small, but the market was big. The food was mostly local and seasonal; however, there were tomatoes and stawberries from the south of Spain (which we're told is the European Union's answer to Mexico.)

2008_04_29-EuroMarketB.jpgThere were long displays of delicious local cheeses, bins of homemade tapenades, mounds of spices, fresh seafood from the Mediterranean, local honey, regional wine, radishes, meats, salad greens, fava beans, and fresh bread. It was true eye candy. We hope you enjoy the photos.

you should have stayed and visited the market in Ferney-Voltaire!

Our olive ladies have the.best.olives.ever. And we have strawberries from France... those lovely long ones, that when you bite into them explode long-lost taste memories in your mouth -- lemony, sweet, STRAWBERRY

Oh, and there are our cheese sellers, and the goat-cheese couple, and the best-of-France guy who only sells 2 or 3 things at a time, but they are always the best... And the lavender guy, and the Poulet de Bresse fellow....!!!
