The Saturday Market

This past Saturday Liz and I visited one of the local markets at the Jardin du Mail. In the parking lot next to the jardin (garden) there were a bunch of stands for fresh fruit, vegetables, some baked goods, meat, and cheese. This region is well known for its apples and pears, but there were also a ton of oranges. Then along the street across from the parking lot, vendors set up stands for flowers, clothing, bread, wine, etc, etc. It was a pretty large market all in all, and I cannot wait to see the ones that are held in the summer. The above picture is of me in front of the fountain at the jardin. I ended up buying some grapes because they were about 4 euro cheaper than at the store. I have unfortunately discovered that grapes here are outrageously expensive.
