En faisant mes courses à Rouen

My first trip to France was a six-month stay in Aix-en-Provence more than 50 years ago. My second was a nine-month stay in Rouen in 1972-73. Arriving in Rouen, I think that in my mind I was returning to Aix. It turned out that the two cities are in totally different worlds. They have one thing in common, however: beautiful and delicious food. Here are some photos of food that I've taken in Rouen over the past 20 years.

    1. That seafood platter / plateau de fruits de mer was amazing. Marie in Rouen served it once when I went to dinner at her house.

    2. Yes! I wished I had it right in front of me right now. Doesn’t matter if it’s six in the morning!

  3. Ha! Once again, I see that one of your photos is one that I've been using for teaching, without realizing that it was yours... just came up in a Google image search! It's the storefront photo of the charcuterie, near the end of the slide show.
