I was on my own at the marché this morning, and since we’re currently in a hotel without a kitchen, I was there to browse more than to buy. I did get an amazing treat, though, and you’ll probably laugh when I tell you that it was a peach! Usually, back home, it is quite rare for me to find a truly delicious piece of fruit in the supermarket, and I don’t get to the farmer’s market in Santa Clarita often, so I can’t speak to the quality of the peaches you might find there. When I was here during the summer of ’14, I would often stop at the corner market (something like a 7-11 in the States), and buy a peach to take back to the apartment. Every peach I bought (in a corner market or at an outdoor marché) tasted like it had just been picked. Seriously – I never had a hard, flavorless peach in France. So, with the heat of the day kicking-in (we’re having a heatwave here, and the forecast was 99°), I took my peach back to the hotel, where I enjoyed every juicy bite!
Looks like a great market!! Enjoy!
We’re going to the peach orchard in Lodi today for a few peaches too! Love the Colonne de Juillet .
I would have loved going to that market with you Candy. The pictures you took look beautiful. So glad you’re having this once-in-a-lifetime experience in Paris. You’ll know all the great places to visit. I’m really enjoying living vicariously through your blog.?
Hi Ang,
I think that the Dudes should definitely consider making Paris the destination for a future week-long group trip. I would love to show you all of my favorite places, and I’m sure we could find some new favorites together!
What a beautiful market! And is it me or is even the fish artfully arranged! Love it and leach sounds delish! I have been debating making peach jam…now if I had your peaches…stay cool! Xo
Hi Bonnie,
You’re so right! Everything (including the fish) is arranged carefully to make it as beautiful and appealing as it can be! I took a photo of fish heads and bones, on sale for soup stock, I assume, and even those looked pretty good.
Ha! PEACH not leach ?
